I also do not doubt that the positive attributes which King ascribed to Mary are true. I think there is plenty in Scripture to support that Mary was a true example of what it meant to be a follower of Christ – therefore, she is a leader and role model for us today. However, I’m not sure on where I stand on the highlighting of non-biblical texts, such as the Gospel of Mary, to prove points not present in Scripture. I believe the Bible to be complete because I trust the process of canonization was under the sovereighty of God. The problem with the view of Mary can definitely be attributed to patriarchal views , but I believe Scripture itself has no part in lessening the role of the woman through the life of Mary – it seems to be quite the opposite.
