Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Although she is discussed in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew in the collection of writings known as the Gnostic gospels that were rejected by the early Christian church, there is no better insight into this mysterious and influential woman than Mary's own gospel.

A book and movie brought this story to my attention. I never gave it much thought prior but knew it was unusual for a young Jewish male to
be unmarried. Saw this book advertised and I am learning a lot. Not finished yet and it is a lot more than I expected. Will recommend it to others.
