The Gospel of Mary, the only known Gospel that is named after a
woman, has aroused new interest in the figure of Mary Magdalene and
the beginnings of Christianity. What were her impact and her
message? What became of her and her ideas? This book examines the
Gospel of Mary to discover what it reveals about Mary Magdalene and
to determine the origin of its portrayal. It proposes a new
perspective on matter and nature in the Gospel of Mary, suggesting
that it is not to be categorized as a Gnostic writing. Furthermore,
the study argues that Mary's teaching in the Gospel of Mary is more
closely related to the writings of Philo, the letters of Paul and
the Gospel of John than to the Nag Hammadi Codices. As such, the
Gospel of Mary and its portrayal of Mary Magdalene cannot be seen
as evidence of a specific Gnostic esteem for Mary Magdalene, but
rather demonstrates the esteem of believers belonging to a broader
Christian context. portrayals of Mary Magdalene in the New
Testament, analyses their concepts of discipleship and their views
on women, and investigates its historical 'reality'. Esther de Boer
concludes that the portrayal of Mary Magdalene in the Gospel of
Mary is close to that in the Gospel of John, and investigates the
possibility that she is concealed in the grammatically male
Johannine disciple loved by Jesus. Volume 260 of the Journal for
the Study of the New Testament Supplements
