Mary - The Unauthorised Biography (Hardcover)

The "official" biography of Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a matter of violent argument within the early Christian movement, culminating with the Council of Ephesus in 431, which established the idea of the immaculate conception and Mary's lifelong virginity. In the centuries that followed, she has become a symbol of the beautiful virgin bride, grieving mother, heavenly queen, compassionate intercessor, leader of armies, and mistress of the world.;Michael Jordan demonstrates that the real Mary was none of these things. In this study of the mother of Jesus, he reveals that Jewish factions were so antagonistic towards her that, at her death, they attempted to seize the body and destroy it by fire, a sentence traditionally reserved for those found guilty of cultic prostitution and incest.
