Description

Hail Mary? examines how sexist and misogynist themes shape the religious imagery surrounding Mary, the mother of Jesus, within Catholic tradition. Maurice Hamington critically analyses three central Marian representations: Mary as the blessed Virgin, Mary as Mediatrix, and Mary as the second Eve. The book identifies how these constructed images reinforce oppressive systems against women within the Catholic Church whilst appearing to honour femininity. By challenging these dominant religious representations, Hamington surveys emerging reinterpretations that offer alternative understandings of Mary beyond traditional patriarchal frameworks. This Routledge publication provides readers with theological critique and contemporary perspectives on how religious symbolism continues to influence women's lived experiences and social positioning.

Key Features

Maurice Hamington's critical analysis of three major Marian images and their reinforcement of sexist Catholic doctrine.

Examines the blessed Virgin, Mediatrix, and second Eve interpretations to reveal underlying misogynist themes in religious tradition.

Surveys emerging reinterpretations of Mary that challenge dominant Catholic representations and patriarchal control.

Published by Routledge, offering scholarly exploration of religion, spirituality and women's oppression in Christian institutions.
