You only have a few days left to get these resources on Mary and the Catholic tradition at a great discount.
Start with The Mother of the Lord, Vol. 1—May’s free book. In this book, Margaret Barker traces the roots of devotion to Mary, Mother of the Lord, through the Old Testament. She reviews evidence from more than a millennium regarding a female deity in Israel, the Mother figure in the Royal cult who had been abandoned about 600 BC. Though the Mother figure was almost written out of the Hebrew text, Barker brings the subject back into view.
