MARY - THE MOTHER OF JESUS

Mary, "full of grace," the mother of Jesus, is a central figure in Catholicism, a figure who—associated with ideas of purity, love, and generosity—has inspired a wide variety of art forms throughout the centuries. But who really was this woman? In *Maria – The Mother of Jesus*, French writer and journalist Jacques Duquense draws on both historical foundations and theological research to create a fascinating and comprehensive study of one of the names most frequently cited by Christians and, paradoxically, the most mysterious in the entire New Testament.
