About this product

Product Information

Restores to the forefront of the Christian tradition the importance of the divine feminine * The first complete English-language translation of the original Coptic Gospel of Mary, with line-by-line commentary * Reveals the eminence of the divine feminine in Christian thought * Offers a new perspective on the life of one of the most controversial figures in the Western spiritual tradition Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Also known as Miriam of Magdala, Mary Magdalene was considered by the apostle John to be the founder of Christianity because she was the first witness to the Resurrection. In most theological studies she has been depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed sinner who exemplifies Christ's mercy. Today's reader can ponder her role in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew--the collection of what have come to be known as the Gnostic gospels rejected by the early Christian church. Mary's own gospel is among these, but until now it has remained unknown to the public at large. Orthodox theologian Jean-Yves Leloup's translation of the Gospel of Mary from the Coptic and his thorough and profound commentary on this text are presented here for the first time in English. The gospel text and the spiritual exegesis 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.

Disappointing
Not really any credible evidence of Mary’s gospel / three par...agraphs/ about 30 short statements; if that, very disappointing/ filling out the book by having other statements from the other 4 gospels r/ rehashing what I already knew

worth a read if you are intrigued about this "missing gospel"
The Gospel of ...Mary Magdalene This book presents an alternative view and interpretation of the message and meanings of the ministry of Jesus Christ, portraying how spiritual progression and enlightenment is attained by introspective contemplation as opposed to the external search for truth and meaning which characterises many human lives. Try reading this interpretation of Mary's story if you are searching for a broader understanding of this enigmatic and much maligned character from Christian history. An excellent read if you are at all interested in Christian history and gender based power struggles and how they shape and mediate our understandings. enjoy Donald
