Called 'blessed among women' by Elizabeth in the Gospel of Luke, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the most obvious example. But she is far from the only mother in this canon. She is joined by Elizabeth, a chorus of unnamed mothers seeking healing or promotions for their children, as well as male mothers, including Paul (Gal 4:19-20) and Jesus. Although interpreters of the New Testament have explored these maternal characters and metaphors, many have only recently begun to take seriously their theological aspects. This work builds on previous studies by arguing maternal language is not only theological, but also indebted to ancient gender constructions and their reshaping by early Christians. 000808693 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on October 17, 2017). 000808693 650_0 $$aWomen in the Bible. 000808693 650_0 $$aMothers in the Bible. 000808693 650_0 $$aMotherhood$$xReligious aspects$$xChristianity. 000808693 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9780190677084 000808693 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000808693 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190677084.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000808693 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:808693$$pGLOBAL_SET 000808693 980__ $$aEBOOK 000808693 980__ $$aBIB 000808693 982__ $$aEbook 000808693 983__ $$aOnline
