Prophecy and Promise | Ep 4.8: Mother of God
Description
You’re listening to Branch 2 – Prophecy and Promise, Part 4: The Birth of Christian Theology. This is Episode 8: Mother of God
In this episode, Dr John Moffatt SJ explores the profound significance of Mary, the mother of Jesus, in Christian theology and devotion. Rooted in biblical narratives and the wider tradition of women in Jewish salvation history, Mary emerges as a central figure in the story of the Incarnation.
He then traces the development of key Catholic teachings on Our Lady, such as the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, along with the enduring devotion she inspires across cultures. Despite ecumenical differences, Mary remains a maternal figure for all Christians—focused on Christ and offering his healing to a world in need.
