Here, the author examines Mary Magdalene's influence on the beginnings of Christianity and asks what was her impact and her message and furthermore, what became of her and her ideas. Esther de Boer studies the Gospel of Mary (the only Gospel to be named after a woman) to discover what it reveals about Mary Magdalene and to determine the origin of its portrayal. She argues that the Gospel of Mary is not a Gnostic writing but is more closely related to the writings of Philo, the letters of Paul and the Gospel of John. She demonstrates that esteem of Mary Magdalene did not just belong to the Gnostic tradition but to a broader Christian context. In order to determine this context, the study identifies the different portrayals of Mary Magdalene in the New Testament, analyses their concepts of discipleship and their views on women, and investigates their historical 'reality'. Esther de Boer concludes that the portrayal of Mary Magdalene in the Gospel of Mary is close to that in the Gospel of John, and investigates the possibility that she is concealed in the Johannine disciple loved by Jesus.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49569741046033,"sku":"GOR003080335","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50309919899921,"sku":"CIN0826480012G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51348724810001,"sku":"GOR010776378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52121796739345,"sku":"NLS9780826480019","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0826480012.jpg?v=1751986302"},{"product_id":"evangelio-de-maria-book-marvin-w-meyer-9780061121111","title":"El Evangelio de Maria","description":"En El Evangelio de María, Marvin Meyer, el experto más destacado en Evangelios Gnósticos, nos presenta la traducción -- por primera vez en español -- de los textos más antiguos y confiables que arrojan luz sobre el misterio de María Magdalena. Estos textos revelan su importancia como bienamada discípula de Jesús, al igual que apóstol y evangelista por derecho propio. También revelan una vibrante tradición oral en la cual María Magdalena no solo es una seguidora de Jesús, sino su compañera y discípula más cercana, una figura cuya relevancia para la cristiandad apenas hoy está emergiendo de las sombras de la historia.Este libro incluye extractos de los Evangelios del Nuevo Testamento, al igual que de los Evangelios Gnósticos y de otros textos, entre ellos el Evangelio de María, el Evangelio de Tomás y el Evangelio de Felipe.Esther De Boer, una experta ampliamente respetada en María Magdalena y el Evangelio de María, ubica las traducciones de Meyer en el contexto actual de los últimos estudios sobre el tema. Ella analiza el papel que desempeña María en cada uno de los Evangelios en los cuales aparece, y la muestra como una mujer capaz y fuerte que representa una amenaza para la Iglesia primitiva, la cual estaba dominada por hombres.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50998893576465,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":50998895771921,"sku":"NIN9780061121111","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149144977681,"sku":"NLS9780061121111","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52417834483985,"sku":"CIN0061121118A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0061121118.jpg?v=1751194675"},{"product_id":"gospel-of-mary-book-esther-a-de-boer-9780567082640","title":"The Gospel of Mary","description":"The Gospel of Mary, the only known Gospel that is named after a woman, has aroused new interest in the figure of Mary Magdalene and the beginnings of Christianity. What were her impact and her message? What became of her and her ideas? This book examines the Gospel of Mary to discover what it reveals about Mary Magdalene and to determine the origin of its portrayal. It proposes a new perspective on matter and nature in the Gospel of Mary, suggesting that it is not to be categorized as a Gnostic writing. Furthermore, the study argues that Mary's teaching in the Gospel of Mary is more closely related to the writings of Philo, the letters of Paul and the Gospel of John than to the Nag Hammadi Codices. As such, the Gospel of Mary and its portrayal of Mary Magdalene cannot be seen as evidence of a specific Gnostic esteem for Mary Magdalene, but rather demonstrates the esteem of believers belonging to a broader Christian context.
