Synopsis

To many of us, Mary is a mystery. She is mentioned in the Bible only a few times, yet she is one of the central figures of our Christian faith. In this new title, you'll meet Mary-the woman, the wife, the devoted mother, and Jesus' first true follower. Through scriptural references, historical perspective, and Christian tradition, this book presents a balanced and insightful examination of the life of Mary and pulls aside the veil of mystery that has shrouded her for centuries.
