This volume explores the female dynasty of the House of David and its influence on the Jewish messianic myth. It provides a missing link in the chain of research on the topic of messianism and contributes to the understanding of the connection between female transgression and redemption, from the Bible through Rabbinic literature until the Zohar. The author examines the centrality of the mother image in Judeo-Christan culture and the parallels between the figure of Mary in the Gospels and the Davidic mothers in Hebrew Scripture, revealing reciprocal representations of "the mother of the Messiah" in Christian and Jewish imaginaire. Deploying theories in gender studies, psychoanalysis, and comparative religion, this study offers a uniquely composite approach the "mythic gaps" in classic Jewish sources. The book won the Pines, Lakritz, and Warburg awards.
