Rediscovering the Marys
Author: Mary Ann Beavis
language: en
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Release Date: 2020-01-23
This interdisciplinary volume of text and art offers new insights into various unsolved mysteries associated with Mary Magdalene, Mary of Bethany, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Miriam the sister of Moses. Mariamic traditions are often interconnected, as seen in the portrayal of these women as community leaders, prophets, apostles and priests. These traditions also are often inter-religious, echoing themes back to Miriam in the Hebrew Bible as well as forward to Maryam in the Qur'an. The chapters explore questions such as: which biblical Mary did the author of the Gospel of Mary intend to portray-Magdalene, Mother, or neither? Why did some writers depict Mary of Nazareth as a priest? Were extracanonical scriptures featuring Mary more influential than the canonical gospels on the depiction of Maryam in the Qur'an? Contributors dig deep into literature, iconography, and archaeology to offer cutting edge research under three overarching topics. The first section examines the question of "which Mary?" and illustrates how some ancient authors (and contemporary scholars) may have conflated the biblical Marys. The second section focuses on Mary of Nazareth, and includes research related to the portrayal of Mary the Mother of Jesus as a Eucharistic priest. The final section, “Recovering Receptions of Mary in Art, Archeology, and Literature,” explores how artists and authors have engaged with one or more of the Marys, from the early Christian era through to medieval and modern times.
The Two Marys
New discoveries in archaeology and recent bestsellers and movies like The Da Vinci Code have sparked a renaissance over the many controversies that have remained unanswered in Christianity and other religions. With a unique perspective only Sylvia Browne could bring, THE TWO MARYS is filled with the details of the two most important women in the life of Jesus. Jesus' mother had an enormous influence on him, and it has mostly been marginalised by the Christian churches. Contrary to all the Christian religions, Jesus did marry Mary Magdalene and she too influenced his teaching. In THE TWO MARYS, New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Browne uncovers the hidden history of these two women in this remarkable book that will be the perfect gift this Christmas season.
