Questo seminario interdisciplinare intende offrire un luogo innovativo di studio della figura di Maria di Nazareth, ma anche della ricchissima rete di riflessione che la tradizione cristiana ha associato a lei. Si affronteranno vari temi in relazione, quali l’imprescindibile relazionalità del cosmo come premessa al seminario stesso; la questione femminile nella Bibbia e nell’oggi; la giustizia e la profezia nell’economia; la riflessione teologica su Maria e l’economia di salvezza; Maria come figura della chiesa e la chiesa come simbolo di Maria; Maria e la politica; Maria e la bellezza; Maria nel dialogo interreligioso; la visione di Maria in Chiara Lubich. I partecipanti al seminario saranno coinvolti in una riflessione che va dalla riflessione biblica fino agli interrogativi più stimolanti del nostro tempo.
