The Gospel of Mary of Magdala by Karen L King

The Gospel of Mary of Magdala by Karen L King

Lost for more than fifteen hundred years, the Gospel of Mary is the only existing early Christian gospel written in the name of a woman. Karen L. King tells the story of the recovery of this remarkable gospel and offers a new translation. This brief narrative rejects Jesus' suffering and death as a path to eternal life and exposes the view that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute for what it is--a piece of theological fiction. The Gospel of Mary of Magdala offers a fascinating glimpse into the conflicts and controversies that shaped earliest Christianity.

Karen L. King is a professor of ecclesiastic history at the Harvard Divinity School. She is the author of four books, including The Gospel of Mary Magdala. She lives in Arlington, Massachusetts. Elaine Pagels is a professor of religion at Princeton University and is the author of six books, including The New York Times bestseller Mas alla de la fe. She lives in Princeton, New Jersey.
