Islam refers to Jesus as the Son of Mary on numerous occasions. The Bible only refers to Jesus as the Son of Mary once, if i recall correctly.

Islam does so to limit the divinity of Jesus to one being born of a woman.

Recall in Islam, women are not held in high regard.

She seems to be the exception that tests the rule. She’s reverenced in the Qu’ran like the French reverenced Saint Joan.

Not going to step on theological toes - or not often, I’m quite simply not that smart - but there are common patterns in all beliefs that seem to be hard wired into us.

There was a good thread on sun worship a couple days ago - again, it seems to be something universal, just like the just, chaste and virginal woman.
