Based on Dr. Sris doctoral dissertation, Queen Mother explores the role of the queen mother in the Davidic kingdom, examining the ways in which this theme sheds light on Marys role as heavenly Queen and Mother of the Church. As he proceeds through the New Testament, Dr. Sri demonstrates the ultimate convergence of the queen-mother theme in the Gospels and the Book of Revelation. "The biblical queen-mother tradition is of paramount importance for our contemporary understanding of Our Lady's dynamic role of spiritual queen and advocate for all humanity. Edward Sri offers an outstanding synthesis of this Gebirah or 'Great Lady' biblical revelation." -Mark Miravalle, professor of theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville
"This book intelligently deepens one's devotion to Mary, the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of Jesus, and the Mother of the Church."-Rev Joseph Henchey, Professor Emeritus Pontifical North American College, Rome
