A radical reassessment of the role of Mary the mother of Jesus and
other women in the early Church Despite the commonly held
assumption that the Bible says little about the mother of Jesus,
there are many indications that Mary preceded and inspired her son
in fostering the emergence of a new faith community. In the Gospel
of John, Mary instigates Jesus' first miracle, and in all four
gospels she is present at the crucifixion, suggesting hers was a
place of unparalleled importance in the Christian story. Setting
aside presuppositions based on doctrine, Chris Maunder returns to
the New Testament to answer the question 'Who was Mary?' He
re-examines the virgin conception of Jesus, Mary's contribution to
Jesus' ministry, and her central role in the events of the
crucifixion and the resurrection. In so doing, Maunder casts a
thought-provoking new light on Mary and the women, including Mary
Magdalene, who stood alongside her.
