Is Mary the Mother of God?

The Catholic Church professes that the Blessed Virgin Mary, who bore Jesus Christ in her womb, is the Mother of God – or as it is known in Greek: “Theotokos” – which means "God-bearer" or "Mother of God".But is this true? Is Mary really the Mother of God? Archbishop John Wilson guides us through Scripture, the Church Fathers and Church Teaching so we understand why it is so important to understand and believe that Mary is the Mother of God. As to deny Mary is the Mother of God is to deny that the Lord Jesus, our Saviour and redeemer, is himself God.Ambassadors for Christ is a landmark Catholic apologetics project, designed to equip you with a deeper understanding of your faith, so you can confidently answer questions and be a joyful witness for the Lord Jesus and his Church.Find out more about Ambassadors for Christ at rcaos.og.uk/ambassadorsforchristThe intro is Veni Creator Spiritus, performed by the Lay Clerks of St George’s Cathedral at St George's Cathedral in Southwark, London.
