This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
Lost and forgotten for more than a thousand years, the only ancient Gospel named after a woman apostle emerged from the sands of Egypt just over a century ago. Originally written in Greek early in the second century and later translated into Coptic, Mary Magdalene’s Gospel comes to vivid life in this fresh translation with contemporary reflections on the ancient wisdom of this recovered treasure. Note on the cover artwork: The title format on the front cover is patterned after the inscription at the conclusion of the fifth-century Coptic text of the Gospel According to Mary. Spirituality

The numbers of the passages got in the way of the message but the content is good

It was very distracting that the verse number was read in “real time” as the reader read through the gospel. I could not finish. It’s awful.

Actually reading the verse number.

The book is impossible to finish as the numbers are read during narration. It's too distracting.

Reading of numbers is distracting

Reading the scripture numbers through is so distracting and you can’t really hear the message. It’s Like Rain Man keeps interrupting. It’s kind of horrible. The narrator needs to learn how to read scripture, by pronouncing each line number you take away from the flow and don’t relay the word properly the numbers are silent, unless they are conveying part of the message. Please update this.

It's not so much the robotic and tinny sounding voice of the virtual reader but the numerical verse announcement the that interrupts the text.

impossible to listen to

the computer generated translation reads the numbers for all the footnotes so it's nearly impossible to listen to the actual text fortunately I already heard it before and you can find it for free on YouTube.
the introduction was clearly biased when it presented the viewpoints for and against this text I would suggest you find another source for the arguments against its authenticity. I hope it was a blast for him because it was certainly a blasphemy.

worst thing I've heard on audible

I’m sure the content is good. And if a human had read it, it would probably be fine. So sad. Almost like they don’t want anyone to have this information. I’d love a listen when it is not AI read.

Use of AI voice made this unlistenable! The irony.
