{"product_id":"in-quest-of-the-jewish-mary-9781626980044","title":"In Quest of the Jewish Mary","description":"Jesus, as is well known, was born and raised as a Jew in first-century Palestine. A great deal of theological study has focused on the Jewish cultural and religious context of his life and ministry. It is only natural that this attention should lead us to a new approach to his mother, Mary of Nazareth. To some extent, this quest for the Jewish Mary involves excavating beneath centuries of devotional reflection and artistic depictions that have presented a mythologized Mary, detached from history and from her specific Jewish identity. In this book, Mary Christine Athans draws on the latest historical research, the fruits of post-Vatican II Jewish-Christian dialogue, the insights of feminist theology, and contemporary spiritual reflection to rediscover the Jewish Mary a woman of enormous courage, strength, and prayer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626980044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Mary Christine Athans Bvm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44576551043253,"sku":"9781626980044","price":19.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a6b6ed07-8a5b-4e99-9817-cea5e56f0c85.jpg?v=1724175704","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-quest-of-the-jewish-mary-9781626980044","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
