Embodied Discipleship: Mary, Jesus, and Engendered Faithfulness

The New Testament does not say much about the mother of Jesus, but what is recorded offers a powerful example of Christian faithfulness. In some instances, however, she has been lifted up only as an example for women, especially for those of the Catholic or Orthodox expressions of the faith. Attention to her story reveals both an affirmation of female embodiment in God’s redemptive plan as well as an exemplar for all believers no matter their sex. She points the way to her Son, embodied male in a uniquely inclusive way, so that all believers find their holistic identity in him.
