Description
A powerful and redeeming text for anyone influenced by Christianity in their life-time. The Gospel of Mary was discovered in 1896 and contains a message of a deep and mystical teaching of Jesus, shared with his most beloved companion, Mary Magdalene. While Mary Magdalene has wrongly been subject to historical slurs and diminished by a patriarchal Church hierarchy, her role as the first to witness the resurrected Christ is universally accepted and many scholars, theologians and believers understand her role much differently. Jean Yves Leloupe translates and gives commentary on this text that offers a different view of what we have heard and learnt of Christ and a radical renewal of the divine feminine in the spiritual tradition that dominates the Western world.
