Synopsis
Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary: New Insights into the Mother of Jesus takes readers on a bold and thoughtful journey into one of the most familiar yet least questioned stories in Christian tradition.
Drawing from years of research, Paul R. Finch looks closely at the infancy narratives found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke and places them alongside early non-canonical writings such as the Proto-Gospel of James. By comparing these sources, the book explores what may have been left unsaid, misunderstood, or deliberately omitted from the traditional nativity story.
Written for curious readers rather than academic specialists, this book asks difficult but honest questions about Mary, Joseph, the virgin birth, family relationships, genealogy, and early Christian traditions. Finch does not aim to attack faith, but to encourage deeper thinking, open dialogue, and a fuller understanding of the historical and human context behind the story of Jesus’ birth.
Thought-provoking, well-researched, and accessible, Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary is ideal for readers interested in biblical history, early Christian writings, Mariology, and those who enjoy exploring long-held beliefs from a fresh perspective.
