The Secret Gospel Of Mary Magdalene Av Michele Roberts

<p>In the parched soil of Provence, a fifth gospel has been discovered, Mary Magdalene''s account of Jesus'' teaching and her relationship with him. <br><br>It is a book of revelation, for it unveils a new Christianity, one which embraces the female equally with the male and acknowledges and celebrates women''s spirituality. A passionate story of love and search, of separation and rebirth, <i>The Secret Gospel</i> imagines an alternative history for the much maligned Mary Magdalene, where she runs away from her family but returns to be captivated, both emotionally and theologically, by Jesus. <br><br><i>The Secret Gospel of Mary Magdalene</i> is a brilliant and moving vision of Christianity that is also startlingly modern in its conclusions.</p>
