David Mills is the author of Discovering Mary: Answers to Questions about the Mother of God (Servant Books) and a columnist for Lay Witness and the Pittsburgh Catholic. He recommends Timothy George's article "Evangelicals and the Mother of God" as an example of a positive appreciation for Mary.

After a lot of study of the Scriptures and the Church Fathers,
I’ve personally come to the conclusion that Protestants make too
little of Mary and Catholics make too much.

Given the current lay of the land, I’d give the edge currently
to Catholics as being closer to the truth - but still too
far from the center.

Mary leads all men to her Son, Jesus Christ. To fully appreciate that statement, an excellent example is the conversion story of Roy Schoeman, a conservative Jew.

Some modern Protestants appreciate Mary?

Some moder Protestants actually like Mary?

Gosh, that’s big of them.

God Almighty CHOSE Mary from the very beginning of the world to be the Mother of the Savior so the opinion of protestants, albeit a step up from the vulgar blasphemy of the past, is still very deficient.

[Psalm 73]

"Since He had to have a mother, who it was didn't really matter."

I have never believed that - of course it mattered - Mary was of the Davidic lineage - a crucial point.
As an Evangelical, I have always known that everything else about who Mary was as a person is important.
After all, Jesus entrusted her to his closest friend before He died - Mary matters to me because Mary mattered to Jesus.
Thank you for posting this article on Mary - I try to look at what we have in common rather than points of contention - have a blessed day.
