Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A cultural history of Mary, a minor character in the Bible yet a powerful force in the centuries during which Christianity established itself. The subject of paintings, sculptures, music and churches, the focus and inspiration for women, it is now impossible to conceive the religion without her.

Publisher's description:

Mary, the mother of Jesus, is one of the most powerful, influential and complex of all religious figures. Throughout Christianity's journey from mysterious origins to global religion, the Mother of God has been a profound presence in countless lives. This book presents the story of that presence and raises questions about the human experience.
