TALES OF THE THEOTOKOS: Mary in the Personal, Historical, Scriptural, and Spiritual Realms

By: John C. Wilhelmsson

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Christ's mother Mary is perhaps the most misunderstood figure in the history and current practice of Christianity. This book seeks to clarify her nature and role by looking at four different perspectives. "The Personal" is told through the inspirational short story "Twin Fates." "The Historical" looks at Mary's influence down through the Christian age. "The Scriptural" is based upon John Henry Cardinal Newman's writings and examines Mary's role purely in terms of the Bible. And "The Spiritual" details Mary's role as Coredemptrix and the perennial truths of the spiritual life this role points to for us all. By gathering together all of these perspectives in one book "Tales of the Theotokos" takes a fresh new look at Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ.
