Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Although she is discussed in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew in the collection of writings known as the Gnostic gospels that were rejected by the early Christian church, there is no better insight into this mysterious and influential woman than Mary's own gospel.

The gospel text and the spiritual interpretation of Leloup together reveal unique teachings that emphasize the eminence of the divine feminine and an abiding love of nature over the dualistic and ascetic interpretations of Christianity presented elsewhere. What emerges from this important source text and commentary is a renewal of the sacred feminine in the Western spiritual tradition and a new vision for Christian thought and faith throughout the world.

I was very unfamiliar with this gospel and found out so much more about Mary and the disciples. Excellent audiobook for understanding!

Excellent Analysis

I find it hard to listen to the narrator. She’s like, not talking in her real voice. If that’s her real voice then I imagine everyone she knows is like 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️STFU! LoL

The narrator 👎👎👎

this puts a whole new slant on the scripture. I think it is a welcome addition to the other canonical Gospels and should be part of them wherever!

The words of Mary are painfully beautiful and haunting. She deserves to take her place next to Jesus as his wife and best friend. May she rise and be acknowledged by all who read this.

The truth comes shining through!
