The Mary Magdalene Cover-Up by Esther A De Boer
Mary Magdalene has always been the subject of both popular and scholarly intrigue. Was she the wife of Jesus, his complete initiate, a Goddess or a priestess? This book enables the reader to draw their own conclusions about this woman through a combination of original texts and commentary.
Esther de Boer's work is a valuable resource for current and future scholars interested in rethinking the history of early ChristianityShe has gathered here all the relevant texts we now know, canonical and apocryphal and patristic, some of which appear in English here for the first time. Her presentation is clearly organized (introduction, texts, explanation). I highly recommend it for those who want to join the conversation. Jane Schaberg, University of Detroit Mercy
