Description

Explore the deep historical connections between the Old Testament and the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In The Mother of the Lord: Volume 1: The Lady in the Temple, Margaret Barker investigates the roots of devotion to Mary as Mother of the Lord. This research traces these traditions back to the first temple in Jerusalem, providing evidence of a female deity in Israel. Barker examines the Mother figure within the Royal cult, a presence that existed for more than a millennium before being abandoned around 600 BCE. The book explores how this figure was nearly removed from the Hebrew text and excluded from the canon. This first volume provides a detailed history of the Lady in the Temple, setting the stage for further study in the upcoming second volume. This work is an essential resource for those studying biblical history, religious traditions, and the evolution of ancient Israelite worship.
