The author takes the 13 stories in the New Testament where Mary the mother of Jesus appears, acts, or speaks, and, using contemporary methods of biblical study, explores the world behind the text, of the text and ahead of the text. These three worlds interact to create a living memory of Mary that empowers the church. Dangerous Memories is drawn from Part 5, Chapter 10 of Johnson's Truly Our Sister: A Theology of Mary in the Communion of Saints with the addition of a new introduction and a short annotated bibliography.
