  In her quest for the Jewish Mary, Mary Christine Athans, BVM draws on the latest in historical research, theological and spiritual reflection, the fruits of post-Vatican II Jewish-Christian dialogue, and the insights of feminist theology. Using the method of Ignatian contemplation she offers meditations, integrating Hebrew prayers which might have been extant in the first century, in order to rediscover the Jewish Mary ¿ a woman of enormous courage, strength and prayer. Her lecture includes a power point presentation of Marian art through the centuries.
