Dangerous Memories by Elizabeth A Johnson
Elizabeth Johnson takes the 13 gospel appearances of Mary of Nazareth and creates a rich, deep Marian identity from this complex mosaic. Dangerous Memories is taken from her acclaimed Truly Our Sister: A Theology of Mary in the Communion of Saints (0-8264-1473-7), with the addition of a new introduction and a short annotated bibliography.
"[Elizabeth Johnson's] long-awaited work on Mary of Nazareth is now finished, and it was well worth the wait..[It is] scholarly, well researched, beautifully written and theologically profound." —America
"This is a quite outstanding book - scholarly without ever being pretentious, faithful without even being sentimental. It is also poetic, with a lovely use of language which makes reading a real joy...this will prove an excellent text for undergraduate students...I highly recommend this book" -GRACE & TRUTH Volume 22, April 2005
"Each chapter is a gem that presents Mary as a woman of her times speaking to women of today...A book not to be missed." -Catholic Library Journal, June 2005 -- Catholic Library Journal
"This story is well told and engagingly written. If you read only one book on Mary in your lifetime, let this book be the one!" —American Catholic Booksellers' Courier * American Catholic *
"This book gets my nomination as the best and most important I have read in 2003, and since I concluded in 2004, in that year too." —Catholic New Times * Catholic New Times *
"Johnson writes in the same lucid and elegant style that one is accustomed to seeing in her works...The heart of her book is the last part, which contains an extensive treatment of each biblical passage that speaks of Mary in the Gospels...All of these chapters display excellent familiarity with biblical scholarship, including areas of debate, and exemplify a theology well grounded in Scripture." —Theological Studies * Theological Studies *
