This will be a full-fledged multivolume feminist commentary on the whole Bible, ecumenical and interfaith. First volumes probably late next year. Barbara published a book on Luke's treatment of women, "Choosing the Better Part" with Liturgical Press about ten years ago. She doesn't suffer putdowns of active and uppity women gladly.<br /> I'm of course preaching on M&M tomorrow, and I'm emphasizing the power to choose.<br />Linda Maloney+Linda Maloneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-15633829351947272132010-07-17T21:47:08.961-04:002010-07-17T21:47:08.961-04:00Our priest stressed that Jesus said Mary had chose...Our priest stressed that Jesus said Mary had chosen the "better" part although he added that he would still like plenty of brussells sprouts and baked potatoes on his next invite to a parishioner for dinner. He told the tale of a fellow priest who stupidly asked his vestry for an assistant. They provided a time and motion expert who noted that the priest wasted 2 hours a day on prayer. The members of the vestry said they had to pray in their own time not at work.Brian Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802352695666737088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-77548509818552780712010-07-17T12:28:07.159-04:002010-07-17T12:28:07.159-04:00Thanks, Clair.

I'm thinking that this was Luke, and that it has something to do with the story of the Good Samaritan which precedes it. I think he's teaching about discipleship - about how to love God and how to love your neighbor as your self. The "good" is Luke's pronouncement, I think.Elizabeth Kaetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787552280232329081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-24394507961059949302010-07-17T10:13:16.572-04:002010-07-17T10:13:16.572-04:00Last time I preached on Martha and Mary, I found a...Last time I preached on Martha and Mary, I found an article in the Catholic Biblical Quarterly wherein the author argued that both of them (in the context of the ministry teaching of this section of Luke) -- were clearly disciples/apostles/ministers just like the rest of the 70 who were sent out. That they both represented ministerial tasks -- 1) quiet time & building relationship with Jesus -- 2) doing the work. That the "better" part is a poor translation -- should be "good" part. We need to have both in order to minister, doing and being -- and women in leadership/ministry -- is as old as Martha and Mary ...Elaine C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02094641269585924122noreply@blogger.com
