While Shane Page was studying to become a Methodist pastor, he wanted to understand the incarnation of Jesus as clearly as possible. This led him to do a deep dive into the way that Christ's humanity and divinity had been discussed throughout Christian history, and he was surprised to discover how much of that conversation reflected on Mary's being set apart for the unique purpose of bearing the Son of God.

Shane shares how this research led him to discover many more passages in Scripture that connected to Mary's role, not only in giving birth to Jesus, but in showing us all what it means to be a Christian.
