The Mary Magdalene Gospel tradition
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Mary Magdalene, the closest disciple of Jesus, is revealed through the translations and introductions by Marvin Meyer, a leading scholar of the Gnostic Gospels. Meyer presents a collection of Gnostic and New Testament texts that illuminate the story and significance of Mary Magdalene, including fresh translations of the Gospels of Mary, Thomas, Philip, and other texts relating to her.
Working alongside Esther A. De Boer, Meyer brings to light the suppressed narrative of Mary's crucial role in Jesus' life and the early post-crucifixion period. The duo strives to present Mary Magdalene as authentically as possible, allowing readers to glimpse the real woman beyond the centuries of misconceptions and misinformation.
By delving into these texts, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Mary Magdalene's importance in the life of Jesus and the early Christian community. Meyer's meticulous translations and insightful commentary shed light on a figure who has long been relegated to the shadows, offering a fresh perspective on her significance.
