Download or read book The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene written by Jane Schaberg and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-08-31 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The controversy surrounding Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code has intensified interest in Mary Magdalene and Jane Schaberg provides an authoritative source for a deeper understanding and re-assessment of this popular figure. Within a progressive feminist framework, The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene approaches Christian Testament sources through analysis of legend, archaeology, and gnostic/apocryphal traditions. This is the story of the suppression and distortion of a powerful woman leader - Schaberg presents Mary Magdalene as successor to Jesus in a challenging alternative to the Petrine primacy.

Download or read book Mary Magdalene written by Adriana Valerio and published by Europa Editions UK. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rediscover the crucial roles held by women within the heart of Christianity. Favourite disciple, influential woman, true believer and follower of Jesus: how do we see Mary Magdalene today? Witness to Jesus' crucifixion and his burial, the first to announce the resurrection, she is without a doubt the most recognizable of the gospels' female figures, a central character in Christianity's foundational story. But centuries of alteration and resizing, of merging several female figures into one, have erased Mary Madgalene's apostolic role and left us with a misrepresentation. They delivered the figure of a quintessential repentant sinner, one in whom sensual beauty and mortification of the body are combined. When we reflect on the "Magdalene case", delving into the folds of history and the arts, and removing misunderstandings and manipulations, we rediscover the crucial roles women have always held within the heart of Christianity, despite their stories often going untold. Adriana Valerio's engrossing retelling of Magdalene's story, founded as it is in historical fact, is an unmissable opportunity to reclaim such roles in a church that remains largely patriarchal to the present day.

Download or read book The Assassination of Mary Magdalene written by Julian Doyle and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-01-16 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concerted character assassination of Mary Magdalene has puzzled many through the ages. Some believe it was to conceal a marriage between Jesus and the Magdalene but this is actually not the reason for these vicious attacks on her, but actually it is far more complex and is not related to anything happening while Jesus was alive. It is because of what happened to the Magdalene after Jesus died. And it was so damning for the Roman church that taking Luke's description of the Magdalene: 'Mary Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons.' (Luke 8) And from this one sentence the Church decided that Mary Magdalene was, not only a sinner and a prostitute, but in AD 591 Pope Gregory declared the 'seven demons' were in fact the seven deadly sins of pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth and wrath and heaped all these seven sins on to her, on top of prostitution. So this infallible Pope had pronounced Mary Magdalene to be a fat, greedy, lazy, jealous, angry prostitute! You can see that the church showed no restraint when it came to assassinating the character of Mary Magdalene. And all this was really to conceal a truth that was so well known in the South of France that a crusade was launched against the area. It began with an attack on July 22, 1209 on the town of Beziers where the doors of the church of St. Mary Magdalene were broken down and the refugees from the surrounding area were dragged out and slaughtered. This ended in 7,000 deaths including women and children. Arnaud wrote to Pope Innocent III that 20,000 of these Christians were put to sword, regardless of rank, age or sex. These innocent people clearly held Mary Magdalene in high esteem and it cost them their lives. So we can be sure that the church was making a concerted effort not only to destroy the reputation of the Magdalene but to destroy all knowledge of the real story of the most important woman in the Gospels. It is interesting to note that the church in Beziers that was attacked was called Saint Mary Magdalene's but the Magdalene was not made a Saint by the Church of Rome for another seven hundred and fifty years. Furthermore the attack was launched on 22nd July, which was always Mary Magdalene' feast day!

Download or read book The Gospel of Mary written by Esther De Boer and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-06-20 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code has raised new interest in Mary Magdalene and in the Gospel of Mary. Here, the author examines Mary Magdalene's influence on the beginnings of Christianity and asks what was her impact and her message? And furthermore, what became of her and her ideas? Esther de Boer studies the Gospel of Mary (the only Gospel to be named after a woman) to discover what it reveals about Mary Magdalene and to determine the origin of its portrayal. She argues that the Gospel of Mary is not a Gnostic writing but is more closely related to the writings of Philo, the letters of Paul and the Gospel of John. She demonstrates that esteem of Mary Magdalene did not just belong to the Gnostic tradition but to a broader Christian context. In order to determine this context, the study identifies the different portrayals of Mary Magdalene in the New Testament, analyses their concepts of discipleship and their views on women, and investigates their historical 'reality'. Esther de Boer concludes that the portrayal of Mary Magdalene in the Gospel of Mary is close to that in the Gospel of John, and investigates the possibility that she is concealed in the Johannine disciple loved by Jesus.
