A gospel witness to transfiguration and liberation.
Mary is arguably the first disciple, and this book explores the different ways she is presented in the Gospels and also in Christian spirituality through history, showing how her significance extends far beyond the Christmas story. As more than just a mother at the manger, Mary can be a pattern for our own discipleship. She is an enduring witness to the central importance of transfiguration and liberation as characteristics of the kingdom of God, which should also be visible in our lives as followers of Jesus today.
