discussion starter

the book inspired me to form a women's theology group to discuss the ideas presented.

Dangerous Memories

This is chapter 10 from Elizabeth Johnson's larger work on Mary giving a good mosaic of her life piece by piece. She draws on many scholars well-known and also includes feminist theologians, but it is not intrusive but very interesting and lets one see from all possible angles. It is a good book on Miriam of Nazareth or Mary the mother of Jesus. It is a good read and well worth while.
