Sobre o livro
Categorically under "my-karma-runs-over-your-dogma".
Mary - "Mother of God", "Queen of Heaven", "Immaculate" - among the 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 digs up stuff long buried: 1) Mary is Jewish, 2) Mary is aware of her lineage as grandchild of King David, and 3) lives in a time when her land is occupied by an imperialistic superpower and by proxy runs it through a paranoid pretender to the throne in Jerusalem. Given that, when offered the role of bearing the Messiah, her response "... may it be to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38) is an act of subversion to those on the throne!

Photographer, psychologist, pastor and uh ... pedagogue? Wanted to fit 'teacher' in there but alliteration hehe. 'Professor' is too pretentious while 'pedagogue' has some bad rep which is I do not think represent my teaching style. So there ... and I'm old and trying to retire.
