Summary. Mary (Luke 1-2, John 19), virgin mother of Jesus by the Holy Spirit, is in DP the providential figure who at the level of conception restored what fallen Eve had lost. Her role extends into Jesus’s ministry, where DP reads the wedding at Cana and Mark 3:31-35 as showing the limits of her cooperation with Jesus’s mission — contributing to the conditions that forced Jesus to the cross rather than to physical marriage and global lineage restoration.
