About this ebook

“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.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great book! Very rich and will open a new perspective about Mary. Dr. Pitre's writing style is always easy to understand. God bless you!

I loved this book. If you want to learn the truth about Mary then read this book. It is so clear and I love the diagrams. I also appreciate how the author cites Protestant scholars and theologians as well as ancient Jewish and Christian writings. God bless Brant Pitre for the great work he does!

This book is excellent! It gives the fundamental understanding who Mary is a a Jew. It is nice for those Catholics who desire to seek the Jewishness of our faith.
