More about the book
The narrative explores the complex legacy of Mary Magdalene, initially a pivotal figure in the gospels and a witness to Jesus' resurrection, who later became mischaracterized as a sinner. By the sixth century, she was marginalized, exiled, and her significance diminished, overshadowed by patriarchal interpretations. The rediscovery of Gnostic texts reveals her as a profound disciple and companion of Jesus, challenging traditional views and highlighting her quest for knowledge. This examination seeks to reclaim her authority and rightful place in history.
