Description:

No other biblical figure has had such a vivid and bizarre afterlife in the human imagination as Mary Magdalene. Who was she? Mary Magdalene Understood takes the reader on a journey through the Magdalene tradition, beginning in the ruins of ancient Magdala on the coast of the Sea of Galilee, traveling back through the distortion that characterizes Mary's afterlife in text and image, and revisiting the ancient texts that say so much and yet so little about this visionary woman who stood by the cross of Christ. Readers are invited to take up the question of who Mary Magdalene was and, most importantly, why it matters. Book jacket.
