The Biblical Faces of Mary – Feminist Biblical Exegesis and Hermeneutics

This book speaks of the different faces of Mary. Some are narrative, like those in each gospel, and others are cultural and symbolic, like that of the letter to the Galatians and the text of the Apocalypse. The biblical Mary that emerges from these pages, far from being a flat, univocal and patriarchal figure, is a rich, complex character of faith, with backgrounds that are not visible at first glance. The reading public will gradually uncover the multifaceted face of a woman of faith, free, active, strong, very different from the Mary domesticated by the patriarchy. They will see the different ways of understanding and interpreting Mary. This is a book of careful analysis, bold hermeneutics and surprising results.
