--WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER-- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene
reveals a very different love story from the one we've come to
refer to as Christianity. Harvard-trained theologian Meggan
Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary's gospel to
illuminate the powerful teachings it contains. A gospel, as ancient
and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible
contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was
sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed.
Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks
to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several
manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a
woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Mary's gospel reveals a
radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her
gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or
unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully
human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has
remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also
a limitless soul. And all we need to do is to turn inward (again
and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel
directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives
to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here,
within. With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary
Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and
relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of
who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how
this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to
experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms
everything.
