Reviews

Few works deliver on the promise of their title with such success as Mary Christine Athans book. . . . The scholarship is solid, the prose accessible and her personal reflections engaging. The book can also be provocative, since discussions of Mary lead to questions about the contested role of women in the church....--Dr. Sidney Callahan, in America magazine. [Readers] will come away with a renewed appreciation not only of Mary, the Jewish mother of Jesus, but of the history of the Catholic Church and its relations with Jews and with other Christians. . . . At once enormously informative and, simply put, a great read, indeed, a page turner. from the Foreword by Eugene J. Fisher
