Reviews"Mystified by the way Catholics speak about Mary? Join the club! But if you - like me - have longed for a book that makes a good biblical case for Catholic teachings relating to Mary, then look no further! Brant Pitre has produced an absolutely riveting, page-turning read, surely the most thought-provoking and stimulating I have ever read on the subject." Chris Tilling, Graduate Tutor and Senior Lecturer in New Testament Studies "I did not think a single book could be written about Mary that would excite and unite Catholic and Protestant readers - scholars, clergy and laity alike. What Pitre does with the Bible and Marian typology is clear and compelling. A joy to read, this is the best biblical study of Mary I have ever read. A true masterpiece." -Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb's Supper and The Fourth Cup "Brant Pitre takes important theological truths and makes them not only interesting, but exciting. This book will revolutionize your understanding of the most important woman in history." -Jennifer Fulwiler, author of One Beautiful Dream "Combining rich Biblical scholarship with an engaging, easy-to-read style, this highly accessible book offers a fresh look at Mary in the Bible. Pitre clearly and convincingly shows that the Bible reveals much more about Jesus' mother than is commonly appreciated today. A must read for every Christian who takes the Bible seriously and is open to what God's Word has to say about Mary." -Edward Sri, author of Walking with Mary "It simply is not possible to read the Christian Scriptures without reading the New Testament in light of the Old. With his rare combination of historical-critical mastery and theological erudition, Pitre illumines the whole Scriptures in pondering the figure of Mary." -Matthew Levering, James N. and Mary D. Perry Jr. Chair of Theology, Mundelein Seminary "This book is vintage Brant Pitre: clear, persuasive, readable, and above all, inspiring. it causes us not only to know more about the Mother of God, but also to love her more." -Robert Barron, Auxiliary Bishop, Los Angeles and author of To Light a Fire on the Earth ., "Once again, Dr. Brant Pitre takes important theological truths and makes them not only interesting, but exciting. This book will revolutionize your understanding of the most important woman in history." -Jennifer Fulwiler, author of One Beautiful Dream "Brant Pitre has a wonderful gift for blending insight, scholarship, and an elegant, appealing style. The result is an extraordinary encounter with Jesus Christ, the meaning of his mission, and the spousal nature of God's love for humanity and Christ's love for the Church." -Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Capp., Archbishop of Philadelphia "Pitre has a unique talent for putting scholarly work of the highest caliber into an accessible and engaging form." -Mary Healy, Sacred Heart Major Seminary "Pitre's mastery of Scripture and the Jewish traditions makes him the perfect guide." -Dr. Tim Gray, President of the Augustine Institute
Synopsis"Brant Pitre is one of the most compelling theological writers on the scene today." -Bishop Robert Barron Bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist casts new light on the Virgin Mary, illuminating her role in the Old and New Testaments. Are Catholic teachings on Mary really biblical? Or are they the "traditions of men"? Should she be called the "Mother of God," or just the mother of Jesus? Did she actually remain a virgin her whole life or do the "brothers of Jesus" refer to her other children? By praying to Mary, are Catholics worshipping her? And what does Mary have to do with the quest to understand Jesus? In Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary , Dr. Pitre takes readers step-by-step from the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation to reveal how deeply biblical Catholic beliefs about Mary really are. Dr. Pitre uses the Old Testament and Ancient Judaism to unlock how the Bible itself teaches that Mary is in fact the new Eve, the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, and the new Ark of the Covenant.

Outstanding book
Such a great book. I borrowed it from the library and enjoyed it so much I bought my own copy. I started reading it because I'm not Catholic but have always wondered where the Catholic beliefs about Mary come from. I learned that and so much more about the Bible in general. I highly recommend this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
