This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book
reveals exciting early Christian evidence that Mary was remembered
as a powerful role model for women leaders-women apostles,
baptizers, and presiders at the ritual meal. Early Christian art
portrays Mary and other women clergy serving as deacon,
presbyter/priest, and bishop. In addition, the two oldest surviving
artifacts to depict people at an altar table inside a real church
depict women and men in a gender-parallel liturgy inside two of the
most important churches in Christendom-Old Saint Peter's Basilica
in Rome and the second Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Dr.
Kateusz's research brings to light centuries of censorship, both
ancient and modern, and debunks the modern imagination that from
the beginning only men were apostles and clergy.
This interdisciplinary volume of text and art offers new insights
into various unsolved mysteries associated with Mary Magdalene,
Mary of Bethany, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and Miriam the sister of
Moses. Mariamic traditions are often interconnected, as seen in the
portrayal of these women as community leaders, prophets, apostles
and priests. These traditions also are often inter-religious,
echoing themes back to Miriam in the Hebrew Bible as well as
forward to Maryam in the Qur'an. The chapters explore questions
such as: which biblical Mary did the author of the Gospel of Mary
intend to portray-Magdalene, Mother, or neither? Why did some
writers depict Mary of Nazareth as a priest? Were extracanonical
scriptures featuring Mary more influential than the canonical
gospels on the depiction of Maryam in the Qur'an? Contributors dig
deep into literature, iconography, and archaeology to offer cutting
edge research under three overarching topics. The first section
examines the question of "which Mary?" and illustrates how some
ancient authors (and contemporary scholars) may have conflated the
biblical Marys. The second section focuses on Mary of Nazareth, and
includes research related to the portrayal of Mary the Mother of
Jesus as a Eucharistic priest. The final section, "Recovering
Receptions of Mary in Art, Archeology, and Literature," explores
how artists and authors have engaged with one or more of the Marys,
from the early Christian era through to medieval and modern times.
