by Francis J. Sdb Moloney (Author)
In Mary, Woman and Mother Fr. Francis Moloney studies the New Testament's presentation of Mary's person and role. After indicating the limits and strengths of a biblical study of Mary, he examines the Marian texts from the Letter of Paul to the Galatians, the Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, the Acts of the Apostles, and the Gospel of John. She is above all a women and a mother. This book shows that in recognizing Mary as God's place of encounter with all that is most beautiful among women and men, we will gain access to the womanly, maternal face of God.
