El Legado Perdido De Maria Magdalena. La Biblia Revela La Historia De La Esposa De Cristo (Fc)

by Margaret Starbird

El Nuevo Testamento está escrito mediante la gematría, un código que convierte ciertas frases en números sagrados. En esta obra, Margaret Starbird explora el significado secreto de esos números y revela la poderosa presencia del Sagrado Femenino en los textos fundamentales del cristianismo. La autora descubre que la unión entre Jesús y María Magdalena fue la piedra angular sobre la que se construyeron las primeras comunidades cristianas.

La investigación de Starbird rebate el concepto de que Cristo fue célibe y convierte a María Magdalena en la encarnación de la esposa sagrada. A través de esta poderosa reivindicación, la autora coloca el Sagrado Femenino en el lugar que le corresponde en el cristianismo.

I found it interesting and refreshing to consider these ideas. However, though I'd like to be able to buy what this book posits, I'm skeptical of a work relying so heavily on a tiny number of sources, at least one of them (John Michell, in whom earth mysteries meets the nationalist right wing ) a very mixed bag indeed. I wish the book had been much more extensively footnoted; some sweeping and extraordinary historical claims were made without such references. Besides, I'm left with the impression that the practice of gematria was a mind game of the educated elite, and I question how widely the concepts possibly encoded thereby were actually embraced by the many common people among the early Christians. Also, I note that alphabets and gematria, while very interesting, are still a human construct and not to be equated with the ultimate order of the universe.

Not much new ground here and a large part of the book discusses Jesus not Mary Magdalene.

Possibly my favorite of Margaret Starbird's works. Pretty close tie with Bride in Exile.

Interesting theories and ideas, but I don't think the gematria was explained very well. All of a sudenn phrases and numbers and square roots and powers were thrown at you, and i just didn't really think it was layed out very well. But other than that, made for an interesting read. :D

Interesting in the enlightenment of secret messages in the scriptures. More on Mary Magdalene as bride of Christ and what it means to Christianity. For those interesting in Biblical Scholarship Recommend A+
