About this book

The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene: Legends, Apocrypha, and the Christian Testament by Schaberg, Jane. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780826416452.

The controversy surrounding Dan Browns novel The Da Vinci Code has intensified interest in Mary Magdalene and Jane Schaberg provides an authoritative source for a deeper understanding and re-assessment of this popular figure. Within a progressive feminist framework, The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene approaches Christian Testament sources through analysis of legend, archaeology, and gnostic/apocryphal traditions. This is the story of the suppression and distortion of a powerful woman leader - Schaberg presents Mary Magdalene as successor to Jesus in a challenging alternative to the Petrine primacy.
