{"product_id":"9781608332786","title":"In Quest of the Jewish Mary: The Mother of Jesus in History, Theology, and Spirituality","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. In restoring Mary to her own time and place, she helps us rediscover Mary s message for our own time.","brand":"Orbis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134117658864,"sku":"9781608332786","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781608332786_p0.jpg?v=1763834551","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781608332786","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
