Blessed One: Protestant Perspectives on Mary

Despite her prominence in the Christian narrative Mary has largely been neglected within the Protestant church. Recent interest in such issues as feminism spirituality parenting and ecumenism however force a serious reexamination of Marys place in Protestant faith. In Blessed One widely respected Protestant scholars seek to answer three basic questions: who is Mary? how does Marys story intersect with contemporary life? and what does Mary teach us about God? This thoughtful and highly accessible book will be of great interest to all engaged in the debates of the contemporary church Protestants and Roman Catholics alike.Contributors include Nancy Duff Beverly Roberts Gaventa Joel Green E.
