In the course of the history of the church(es), many titles and names have been attributed to the person of Miriam of Nazareth. These titles reflect the faith of the believers as they grappled with the mystery of her son. They shed light on people’s deep devotion but also on bitter disputes. This short module will approach the phenomenon of “Mary” from different perspectives: biblical, historical, Catholic/Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, liberation theology and art.
