Description

This book originated in courses on Mary in ecumenical perspective. The author discusses how Christian images of Mary in theology, piety, dogma, and even in visions acquire new dimensions from being images of the Mother of Jesus in Islam and the female imaging of the Absolute in some of the great religions of Asia. This both relativizes and enhances the Theotokos and her ties with the People of God.
