{"product_id":"the-apostolic-road-david-michael-bouterie-9798385284047","title":"The Apostolic Road: Recovering the Mary of Scripture and the Christ of the Apostles","description":"For centuries, Christians have honored Mary with titles, stories, and devotions that grew far beyond the brief, beautiful portrait preserved in Scripture. \u003ci\u003eThe Apostolic Road\u003c\/i\u003e invites readers to step back through time and examine how those later traditions emerged--through apocryphal writings, cultural imagination, and the powerful pull of inherited devotion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on Scripture, the early Fathers, and modern scholarship, David Michael Bouterie traces how the Mary of the New Testament gradually became the Mary of global Catholic piety. He explores how silence in the biblical record opened space for legend, how ancient goddess imagery shaped Christian art and devotion, and how well-intentioned theological developments sometimes obscured the humanity of Christ himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yet this book is not a rejection of Mary. It is a restoration of her true dignity: a faithful Jewish disciple whose greatness lies not in celestial titles but in her witness to the sufficiency of Christ.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Clear, historically grounded, and pastorally written, \u003ci\u003eThe Apostolic Road\u003c\/i\u003e calls readers to return to the foundation the apostles laid--where Christ stands at the center, Scripture speaks with clarity, and the road of faith remains simple, ancient, and strong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Michael Bouterie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798385284047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Resource Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.32d","brand":"David Michael Bouterie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665692856575,"sku":"9798385284047","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-apostolic-road-david-michael-bouterie-9798385284047","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
