{"product_id":"9781626980044","title":"In Quest of the Jewish Mary: The Mother of Jesus in History, Theology, and Spirituality","description":"\u003cp\u003eJesus, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbis Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050991927536,"sku":"9781626980044","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626980044_p0.jpg?v=1763865395","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626980044","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
