WOMEN'S STUDIES / CREATION SPIRITUALITY "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 "Margaret Starbird is a seeker after
truth. She seeks to recover the long-suppressed, and not
infrequently emotionally opposed, feminine side of the Christian
story. Hers is an exciting narrative probing regions of thought
long neglected. Magdalen, the Great Mary, emerges with new
power."JOHN SHELBY SPONG, Episcopal bishop and author of Born of a
Woman "This fascinating and courageous narrative takes a fresh look
at the true meaning of the Holy Grail and the defeminization of the
early church and comes up with some shocking revelations that may
change the way one perceives Christianity forever." Nexus Magazine
Margaret Starbird's theological beliefs were profoundly shaken when
she read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a book that dared to suggest that
Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalen and that their
descendants carried on his holy bloodline in Western Europe.
Shocked by such heresy, this Roman Catholic scholar set out to
refute it, but instead found new and compelling evidence for the
existence of the bride of Jesus--the same enigmatic woman who
anointed him with precious unguent from her "alabaster jar." In
this provocative book, Starbird draws her conclusions from an
extensive study of history, heraldry, symbolism, medieval art,
mythology, psychology, and the Bible itself. The Woman with the
Alabaster Jar is a quest for the forgottenfeminine--in the hope
that its return will help restore a healthy balance to planet
Earth. MARGARET STARBIRD is the author of The Goddess in the
Gospels, Magdalene's Lost Legacy, and Mary Magdalene: Bride in
Exile. She lives near Seattle, Washington.
