blessing common to all true believers, more than in being his mother after the flesh,
which was an honour peculiar to her." |
|
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "What beautiful superiority to
envy have we here! High as was the
distinction conferred upon herself, Elisabeth loses sight of it altogether, in presence of
one more honored still; upon whom, with her unborn Babe, in an ecstasy of inspiration, she
pronounces a benediction, feeling it to be a wonder unaccountable that 'the mother of her
Lord should come to her.'" |

The
People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.

| "Reading the first verse of this text ("In
those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill
country...") reminded me of the opening lines of Luke's introduction of
John the Baptist (Luke 3:1ff.), except that it's not the emperor, the
governor and the regions over which Herod and his family reign that Luke
mentions here. Instead, we see the hill country of Judea and hear from an
old woman and a girl. Could it be that already in the introduction, the
mighty are cast down? They are, in fact, nowhere to be seen in this
moment." |

| "Without acknowledging that we
are, in our virgin beginnings, the humble, barefooted recipients of
a grace and a call that are the foundation of all we can ever hope
to accomplish, our civilization loses all perspective and our power
inevitably corrupts us. We could do worse than to claim Mary as our
patron saint, she who was the simple and pure recipient of the grace
of the Holy Spirit." |

"Mary's
Song - And Ours," James F. Kay, The Christian Century,
1997. At Religion Online.
| "If Mary sings this Advent,
perhaps we will finally know that every song of the future apart
from hers is simply off key. Every future projected apart from
Mary’s God has no future --it is doomed, and it is damned. But if
Mary’s song is the Advent song, then her God has a future, and her
God will bring us the future. And this is the point of Advent --
indeed, this is the turning point -- not only for Mary, but for us
all." |

Lectionary
Commentary and Preaching Paths (Advent C4), by Dennis Bratcher, at The
Christian Resource Institute.
| "Introducing the theme
of the reversal of fortune, especially against the background of the
great acts of God by which He had revealed Himself and defined Himself
to the Israelites throughout the OT, serves to place the impending
births in the context of a reordering of the world. This anticipates not
only the immediately following features of the narrative, for example
when shepherds are the first to receive the news of a Savior born in the
city of David, but also the role of the new community of Faith that is
emerging in the world." |

"God's
Way of Acting," N.T. Wright.
| "If
the first two chapters of Matthew and the first two of Luke had
never existed, I do not suppose that my own Christian faith, or that
of the church to which I belong, would have been very different. But
since they do, and since for quite other reasons I have come to
believe that the God of Israel, the world's creator, was personally
and fully revealed in and as Jesus of Nazareth, I hold open my
historical judgment and say: If that's what God deemed appropriate,
who am I to object?" |
|
|
"Light
in the Darkness," Marcus
Borg.
| "Thus
I do not see the basis of the birth stories as history remembered.
Yet I think these stories are true. To use familiar terminology, I
see these stories as history metaphorized, that is, as metaphorical
narratives. And the history that is being metaphorized is not the
birth itself but the Jesus story as a whole. With beauty and power,
these symbolic narratives express central early Christian
convictions about the significance of Jesus." |
