Margaret Barker traces the roots of the devotion to Mary as Mother of the Lord back to the Old Testament and the first temple in Jerusalem. The evidence is consistent over more than a millennium: there had been a female deity in Israel, the Mother figure in the Royal cult, who had been abandoned about 600BCE. She was almost written out of the Hebrew text, almost excluded from the canon. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis first of two volumes traces the history of the Lady in the Temple, and looks forward to the second volume in which Barker will show how the Lady of the Temple is reclaimed in the advent of Christianity, and becomes the Lady in the Church. The result is breathtaking, and like all Barker's work, is impossible to put down.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMargaret Barker\u003c\/b\u003e is a former President of the Society for Old Testament Study, and author of numerous works, including \u003ci\u003eThe Older Testament\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Gate of Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Great Angel\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 29, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42580283883616,"sku":"9780567528155","price":125.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/OENVdEdBaTJGdmFDZWk1QTZyMWRQdz09.webp?v=1770789283","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-mother-of-the-lord-volume-1-the-lady-in-the-temple-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
