Who is My Mother? - The Role And Status Of The Mother Jesus In The New Testament And Roman Catholicism
by Eric D. Svendsen
Now you can study the issue of Mary in the New Testament in-depth and give an answer to Rome in this field as well. Dr. Eric Svendsen's new, 334 page work on Mary, which includes his insightful study of the Greek phrase "hews hou" and its relevance to the teaching of the "perpetual virginity of Mary," will be a welcome addition to the apologist's library.
For most of the Protestant world, Mary, the mother of Jesus, remains an enigma. Who is this woman of whom the Scriptures tell us little? Is she the model of the ideal disciple of Christ, or simply a vessel from which the Savior took His humanity? For the Catholic, there is no equivocation: She is the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven, the Divine Meditrix. What is the correct view, and how are we to approach this most intriguing New Testament figure? In this exhaustively thorough book, scholar Eric D Svendsen combs the depths of this question. His findings will enlighten, surprise, or even anger you! One thing is for sure, you will never be able to read about the interaction between Jesus and Mary again without, in some way, drawing from the studies of this book. Pastors, teachers and advanced students of the Word will find it required reading. An instant classic, Who Is My Mother? will be referenced and discussed again and again in years to come.
