Summary:
"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."--From publisher.
