This volume deals with the female dynasty of the House of David and
its influence on the Jewish Messianic Myth. It provides a missing
link in the chain of research on the topic of messianism and
contributes to the understanding of the connection between female
transgression and redemption, from the Bible through Rabbinic
literature until the Zohar. The discussion of the centrality of the
mother image in Judeo-Christian culture and the parallels between
the appearance of Mary in the Gospels and the Davidic Mothers in
the Hebrew Bible, stresses mutual representations of ""the mother
of the messiah"" in Christian and Jewish imaginaire. Through the
prism of gender studies and by stressing questions of femininity,
motherhood and sexuality, the subject appears in a new light. This
research highlights the importance of intertwining Jewish literary
study with comparative religion and gender theories, enabling the
process of filling in the 'mythic gaps' in classical Jewish
sources. The book won the Pines, Lakritz and Warburg awards.
