About the Book
Categorically under my-karma-runs-over-your-dogma.
Mary - "Mother of God", "Queen of Heaven", "Immaculate" - among other titles she has garnered has ultimately become a symbol for a religion dominated by men in funny clothing. Just when women are finding their voices in the 21st Century, she is a throwback representing a world where women are supposed to be docile, domesticated, and weak. The Gospel According to Mary are about stuff many seem unaware of: 1) Mary is Jewish, 2) Mary is aware of her lineage as a grandchild of King David, and 3) lives in a country run by a paranoid authoritarian dictator who is a puppet of an imperialist. In that milieu, " - may it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38), is an act of subversion.
