Brant Pitre is one of the most compelling theological writers on
the scene today. -Bishop Robert Barron

Bestselling author of Jesus and
the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist casts new light on the Virgin Mary,
illuminating her role in the Old and New Testaments.

Are Catholic teachings on Mary really
biblical? Or are they the traditions of men ? Should she be called the

Mother of God, or just the mother of Jesus? Did she actually
remain a virgin her whole life or do the brothers of Jesus refer
to her other children? By praying to Mary, are Catholics worshipping her? And
what does Mary have to do with the quest to understand Jesus?

InJesus and the Jewish Roots of
Mary, Dr. Pitre takes readers step-by-step from the Garden of Eden to the
Book of Revelation to reveal how deeply biblical Catholic beliefs about Mary
really are. Dr. Pitre uses the Old Testament and Ancient Judaism to unlock
how the Bible itself teaches that Mary is in fact the new Eve, the Mother of
God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, and the new Ark of the Covenant.
