Imagining Motherhood in the Christian Tradition

In this episode, Dr. Amy Marga describes the diverse ways Christians have imagined motherhood throughout the church's life. From Origen's mother to modern day, there is no singular image of the Christian mother. What is more, does looking carefully at the stories of mothers in the Christian tradition inform theology today? She explores these topics in her new book with Baylor University Press, In the Image of Her: Recovering Motherhood in the Christian Tradition.

Amy Marga is Professor of Systematic Theology at Luther Seminary.
