Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene; As the fIrst witness to the Resurrection, Mary was considered by the apostle John to be the founder of Christianity. In most theological studies she bas been
depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed sinner who exemplifies Christ’s mercy. Today’s reader can ponder her role through references in the four canonical gospels and in the Gnostic gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew rejected by the early Christian church. Mary’s own gospel is among these Gnostic texts but until now has remained unknown to the public at large.
Orthodox theo!ogian Jean-Yves Leloup’s translation of the Gospel of Mary from the Coptic and his profound commentary on this text are presented here for the first time in English. 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.
