Pramatky Ježíše Krista

by Ann Belford Ulanov

Támar, Rachab, Rút a Bat-šeba jsou jediné ženy uvedené jménem v rodokmenech obsažených v evangeliích. Ann Belford Ulanov z toho vyvozuje, že tyto ženy do Kristovyrodové linie vnášejí cosi velmi důležitého. Zkoumá jejich statečný a nekonvenční přístup k životu a dokládá, jak spása vstupuje do svět ve femininním modu lidského bytí. Tyto ženy ztělesňují mocné a hluboce femininní vlastnosti, jako je vynalézavost, odhodlanost, soucit, svůdnost a oddanost.

[Richard Fitzgerald · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is a well-meaning mess. Ulanov describes the four ancesstresses of Jesus, acknowledging that Mary really makes it five women. However, she doesn't spend much time with Mary. The descriptive portions of the chapters are well written. But then Ulanov wanders off into attempts to perform psychological analyses of these women. There is not enough data to do what she attempts, and it becomes fantastical writing. There is no reason to read this book unless you want to read fantasy that masquerades as biblical studies.

[Laura Starr-Houghton · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a bit dense and psychological for me. I expected more stories but got more analysis. On the other hand, the discussion of how these women fit into the ancestry of Jesus, and what their contribution might be to the Christian message was interesting. They were all rebels!
