The Syro-Phoenician Mother

This woman has many aspects of her background revealed to us: culturally she is Greek; ethnically she is Phoenician AND Syrian; religiously she is classed as a Canaanite; and relationally, she is here revealed as a Mother. But her name is not revealed. This nameless woman has a deep need: Her daughter has a serious physical and spiritual problem. And yet she understands that only Christ has the solution:

1. A Mother's Propitious Approach

2. Christ's Apparent Rejection

3. Her Persistent Supplication

4. A Parent's Prayers Answered
