Mary, Womanhood, and Nuptial Theology

Note: Links on this page go to www.Revelation215.com, a blog I use to collect quotations and stuff I like.

The items linked here touch on two related themes: 

  • Mary as representative of the feminine principle and model for all women.
  • The feminine/Marian principle as defining of Israel, the Church, and the life of the Christian.

Astell - Edith Stein & Gertrud von Le Fort on Mary's Embodiment of Womanhood - Mary encompasses both mother & virgin

Jordan - Only Power is in Surrender - From Preface to Le Fort's 'The Eternal Woman' - This book is one of the sources for previous article - Jordan draws on images from Le Fort's novels

Ratzinger - Women in the OT Central to Spousal Theology of Christianity - Includes Sarah, Rachel, Hannah, Judith as types
