Mary the Ark of the Covenant - Paperback

by Bill McCarthy &. James C. Tibbetts (Author)

The Presence of the Ark of the Covenant was a holy and respected thing just as the Eucharistic Tabernacle is today. Both of these bring us the presence of God. The scriptures show us that Mary has become the new ark of the covenant and this work shows this connection. Mary is the Ark of the Lord, the Ark of the Covenant, 'The Ark' in various different symbolisms in the Bible. Both Luke and John directly relate Mary to the Ark, numerous other texts also bring out the beauty of this relationship. This book is basically a combination of two approaches to Scripture: the scholarly historical critical method (The Way of Truth) and the artistic historical intuitive method (The Way of Beauty). It is a theological exegesis and a poetic meditation; a scriptural science and a biblical art. A very complete understanding of Mary as the Ark is found in this book.
