Johnson's project is summarized in her subtitle: to reclaim Mary from the upper reaches of some astral plane for humanity; what's more, to reclaim Mary as a woman, one with agency and courage and will, not simply an ideal empty vessel for patriarchal visions of womanhood. Johnson does an admirable job, arguing persuasively that whatever we think we know about Mary must be held up to what we know about her time and culture and to what is written about her in Scripture rather than the flights of fantasy that have shaped Catholic teachings on Mary since the Reformation. Not for the casual reader, but her project is also addressed by a popular version of this book titled "Dangerous Memories: A Mosaic of Mary in Scripture". Either version is rewarding reading.

The first century Jewish woman Miriam of Nazareth, mother of Jesus, proclaimed in faith to be Theokotos, the God-bearer, is the most celebrated female religious figure in the Christian tradition. So varied and manifold are the traditions about Mary, both popular and scholarly, that some would speak of 'Mary' as a collective noun or refer, in George Tavard's memorable title, to The Thousand Faces of the Virgin Mary. In her long awaited book, which forms a diptych with Friends of God and Prophets, Elizabeth Johnson offers an interpretation of Mary that is theologically sound, spiritually empowering, ethically challenging, socially liberating, and ecumenically fruitful. In particular, she construes the image of Mary so as to be a source of blessing rather than blight for women's lives in both religious and political terms.
