Love it
This book completely changed the way I think about Mary Magdalene. For so long, she’s been misunderstood, either painted as a sinner or forgotten altogether, but this book actually dives into the real history behind her story. It pulls from ancient texts, archaeological finds, and solid research to show that she wasn’t just a follower of Jesus. She was way more important than history has let on.
What I love is that it doesn’t just push one theory. It lays out all the different scholarly perspectives and lets you decide what to believe. It also breaks down how the church shaped her image over time, turning her into something she likely never was. Some parts get a little speculative, but overall, it’s a fascinating read if you’re into early Christianity, lost gospels, or women’s history. Definitely worth checking out.

Her Voice recovered !!
Like so many women of the past she has been marginalized and demoted in her true self and true contribution to Christianity. This is a scholarly ( both archeological & historical ) account of her significance.
