Description
Summary:In Fratelli Tutti, Pope Francis writes that Mary "wants to give birth to a new world . . . where there is room for all those whom our societies discard, where justice and peace are resplendent." This essay explores the significance of Mary for a Christian vision of peace and justice through ethnographic research on the role of Mary in the lives of Palestinian Christian women and in popular religion in Palestine more broadly. Utilizing the methodology of theological ethnography, this essay centers the personal experiences of Palestinian Christians and considers the implication their understanding of Mary has for Fratelli Tutti and Christian ethics.
