Mary, Bearer of Life by Christopher Cocksworth
Whether through suspicion or ignorance, serious consideration of what Mary can teach us has been lacking in large swathes of the church for some time. Drawing on careful biblical exegesis, church history and ecumenical thinking, this book suggests how a serious understanding of Mary might influence our ethical thought, and considers some of the key theological tensions at the heart of the church's engagement with Mary."Christopher Cocksworth’s Mary: Bearer of Life articulates a deeply reflected retrieval of the possible place of Mary, mother of Our Lord, Life incarnate, in evangelical theology, spirituality, homiletics, Christian living, and Christian social ethicsDeftly engaging across a wide range of Christian traditions, the pastoral orientation and open evangelical Anglican context is appropriately apparent throughout. The result is a profound resource for the deepened spiritual ecumenical formation of thinking Christians across many traditions."
-- Paul D. Murray
