Lost for more than fifteen hundred years, the Gospel of Mary is the
only existing early Christian gospel written in the name of a
woman. Karen L. King tells the story of the recovery of this
remarkable gospel and offers a new translation. This brief
narrative rejects Jesus' suffering and death as a path to eternal
life and exposes the view that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute for
what it is--a piece of theological fiction. The Gospel of Mary of
Magdala offers a fascinating glimpse into the conflicts and
controversies that shaped earliest Christianity.
