The figure of Mary Magdalen has fascinated and perplexed people for centuries. She is portrayed in the Gospels as a neurotic woman, possibly with a past, yet she is the first to encounter the risen Christ and he charges her with the responsibility of proclaiming the resurrection. She is therefore Christianity's first evangelist - a difficult concept for churches with exclusively male hierarchies who prefer to think of her as just a reformed prostitute. The belief that Mary Magdalen was married to Jesus and that the Church has tried to suppress this truth was not invented in recent years but is almost as old as Christianity itself. This gives a grand tour through 2000 years history, art and tradition with surprises and discoveries all the way.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    This book is not a 'skim read'. It is a scholarly, academic book which needs time and effort to do it justice. The author offers new ways of looking at Mary Magdalene as portrayed in the canonical gospels which are quite challenging in themselves. He then goes on to explore Gnostic texts and church history to offer an ever more complex picture. I found it challenging and intellectually stimulating but I will need to read it again and then find other books on the subject if I am to come to a valid conclusion as to where I stand!
