The Lost Gospel Of Mary by Frederica Mathewes-Green
The Mother of Jesus in Three Ancient Texts
A guided tour of three early Christian writings about the mother of Jesus, this work offers accessible translations and commentary that trace her story from miraculous beginnings and childhood to the Nativity and the mystery of her death and assumption. Placing these narratives within their historical and devotional contexts, it shows how early Christians filled in the sparse biblical record, shaping centuries of prayer, art, and liturgy. The result is a vivid, reverent portrait emphasizing her courage, holiness, and maternal tenderness while inviting readers to discern the interplay of history, theology, and legend.
