Description

Discover Margaret Barker's groundbreaking scholarly exploration of the Old Testament roots of Marian devotion in this first volume from T&T Clark. The Mother of the Lord traces the historical evidence for a female deity figure in ancient Israel's Royal cult, known as the Mother in the Temple, whose veneration spanned over a millennium before being suppressed around 600BCE. Barker examines how this significant religious tradition was systematically removed from Hebrew texts and nearly excluded from the biblical canon itself. This richly researched volume establishes the foundational history of the Lady in the Temple, setting the stage for the second volume where Barker will further develop these theological and historical insights. Essential reading for those interested in Catholic spirituality, biblical scholarship, and the deep historical connections between Old Testament religion and Christian Marian theology.

Key Features

Margaret Barker's first volume in The Mother of the Lord series presents original scholarship on ancient Israeli religious history and temple practice.

The book traces veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary back over a millennium to Old Testament temple worship and Royal cult traditions.

Published by T&T Clark and Bloomsbury, this scholarly work examines how the Mother figure was gradually removed from Hebrew texts and biblical canon.

Comprehensive historical analysis of the Lady in the Temple demonstrates consistent religious evidence across centuries of ancient Israelite tradition.

Designed for readers of Religion and Spirituality, Christianity, Catholic theology, and Saints, offering deep theological and historical context.
