Mary of Nazareth: A Novel Audiobook

" It was OK. It was an interesting perspective on history. Having been raised Christian, it went against my sense of tradition. As a scholar, I had to say I don't see how it COULDN'T be her story... so, I just have to take it as another possibility, I guess. "

" buku yang bagus dalam penceritaannya, dimana sejarah kristen kuno digabungkan dengan sejarah Nazi. Tokoh yang diungkapkan menggambarkan beberapa sudut pandang aliran kehidupan, seperti feminisme, otoritarianisme dan relijius ortodok. "

" Not great not bad, nice feministic spin. "

" This was an exciting book for the first few chapters but it soon went downhill for me. I was surprised that the mother of Jesus could be depicted as annoying and condescending. I feel as though the author wanted to portray Mary as having wisdom and strength that astonished those around her, but instead she came off as very haughty and holier-than-thou. I am disappointed that I tarnished my idea of Mary by reading this book. "

" While this is a great fictional story with good insight into history - I struggle with a lot of what it suggests - it is supposed to based on the truth of the Bible, but I did not find it biblically accurate in the least. Very disappointed! "

" I didn't like the ending, but the rest of the story was good. Mary's version of the conception of Jesus was a bit of a stretch in my opinion. "

" So interesting to read about that time in history but Mary is not very likable and her story doesn't really resonate. The ending could really piss some people off.... "

" Its a nice thing to read.. cos i believe that she must be one of extra ordinary women on earth.. :-) "

" I'm not entirely sure how much of this book is based on fact but it's a good read. "

" Nice read, and glad I selected it. I got a good sense of her life before AD! "

" very interesting version of the life of Mary and the events leading upto the birth of Jesus, gave a lot to think about "

" This book was an interesting read. I don't know how accurate it really is about Mary's life prior to the birth of Jesus but it gives a very possible chain of events. In any case Mary proved to be a strong and couragous woman and I rallied for her and her beliefs expressed in the novel. "

" It was a fasanating novel of Mary's life as she was growing up. "

" Not as good as I had hoped. "

" No, do not read this book. Not only does it portray Jesus as a lazy, arogant fool, but also says he faked his death and got a giggle out of it. The whole book contradicts itself many times, has lifeless characters, and tries to pass fiction off as history. What a waste of time. "

" Very good story of (Miriam) Mary and Jesus. "

" Very interesting to look at this story from this different perspective. "

" A fun story with a different take on Mary. Not the best writing I have ever read, but the story line keeps you there. "

" Halter can penetrate my imagine about virgin mary. as long as he added all characters with very nice... 5 stars!!!!!!!!! "

" It was a fasanating novel of Mary's life as she was growing up. "

" A vida de Maria mãe de Jesus , gostei imenso ; alias pena não conseguir mais livros de Marek Halter "

" I didn't enjoy this book as much as the trilogy, but it was interesting. Definitely not the usual portrayal of Mary. "

" So interesting to read about that time in history but Mary is not very likable and her story doesn't really resonate. The ending could really piss some people off.... "

" buku yang bagus dalam penceritaannya, dimana sejarah kristen kuno digabungkan dengan sejarah Nazi. Tokoh yang diungkapkan menggambarkan beberapa sudut pandang aliran kehidupan, seperti feminisme, otoritarianisme dan relijius ortodok. "

" I kept putting this one down and had a hard time getting through it. One author's interpretation of Mary's life before the birth of Jesus. He went a bit too far for my comfort. "

" Had me right to the end... and then the ending was too weird - to another dimension - in a not another dimension sort of book "

" This book was an interesting read. I don't know how accurate it really is about Mary's life prior to the birth of Jesus but it gives a very possible chain of events. In any case Mary proved to be a strong and couragous woman and I rallied for her and her beliefs expressed in the novel. "

" I like actually liked the fact that the author gave Mary a different voice than what we have come to expect. Probably, not true the time, but this is fiction. Overall a good read. "
