RELIGION / CHRISTIAN STUDIESIncludes 60-minute CD of the author's
lecture "Mary Magdalene, Bride and Beloved" in which she discusses
historical and scriptural evidence for the marriage of Jesus and
Mary Magdalene."Margaret Starbird's work is of particular interest
to me because it fuses the diverse fields of symbolism, mythology,
art, heraldry, psychology, and gospel history. Her research opens
doors for each of us to further explore the rich iconography of our
own spiritual history." DAN BROWN, author of The Da Vinci Code "In
this book Margaret Starbird continues her crusade to reestablish
the holiness of the feminine, which has been so cruelly stolen by
'orthodox' Christian leaders over the centuries. By doing so she
also helps to reestablish the humanity of Jesus." JOHN SHELBY
SPONG, author of The Sins of Scripture The controversy surrounding
Mary Magdalene and her relationship to Jesus has gained widespread
international interest since the publication of Dan Brown's novel
The Da Vinci Code, which specifically cites Starbird's earlier
works as a significant source. In Mary Magdalene, Bride in Exile
Starbird examines the many faces of Mary Magdalene, from the
historical woman who walked with Jesus in the villages of Judaea to
the mythic and symbolic Magdalene who is the archetype of the
Sacred Feminine. Starbird reveals exciting new information about
the woman who was the most intimate companion of Jesus--a woman
who, for years, has been conflated with the gospels' other
Marys--and offers historical evidence that Mary was indeed Jesus'
forgotten bride. Expanding on the rich discussion of medieval art
and lore introduced in her bestselling book The Woman with the
Alabaster Jar, Starbird sifts through the layers of
misidentification under which the story of the lost bride of Christ
has been buried to reveal the slandered woman and the "exiled"
feminine principle. She establishes the identity of the female
disciple who was the first to witness Jesus' resurrection and
provides an interpretation of Mary's true role based on prophecy
from the Hebrew Scriptures and the testimony of the canonical
gospels of Christianity. MARGARET STARBIRD is the author of the
bestselling The Woman with the Alabaster Jar, The Goddess in the
Gospels, and Magdalene's Lost Legacy. She lives near Seattle,
Washington.
