About this ebook
Would you like to meet the real Mary of Nazareth?
The real Mary was an unmarried, pregnant teenage girl in first-century Palestine. She was a woman of courage, humility, spirit and resolve, and her response to the angel Gabriel shifted the tectonic plates of history.
Join popular biblical scholar Scot McKnight explores the contours of Mary's life, from the moment she learned of God's plan for the Messiah, to the culmination of Christ's ministry on earth. McKnight dismantles the myths and challenges our prejudices, introducing us to a woman who is a model for faith and who points us to her Son.
