| Description: |
“Dangerous Memories” is taken from Part 5 of “Truly Our Sister”. It represents chapter 10 in its entirety, with a new introduction and a short bibliography. Here Johnson proposes that we consider Mary as a woman of history, graced by the Spirit, who belongs now to “the great cloud of witnesses” whose life challenges and inspires our own. She turns to Scripture, to the stories in the New Testament where Mary appears, acts, or speaks. Using the contemporary methods of biblical studies, we get glimpses of the world ‘behind’ the text in which Mary of Nazareth lived. Johnson then invites us to dive deeper into the world ‘of’ text where Mary’s life story is interwoven with the story of salvation, before we wrestle with the world ‘ahead’ of the text, where, helped by the Word of God, the faith community of today strives to live faithfully. Interweaving the three worlds, behind, in, and in front of the scripture texts, Johnson reveals a living memory of Mary that empowers the church. |
