Summary
 --WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER-- The Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals a very different love story from the one we've come to refer to as Christianity. Harvard-trained theologian Meggan Watterson leads us verse by verse through Mary's gospel to illuminate the powerful teachings it contains.

A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"- that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul.

And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within.

With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything.

"This book is a masterpiece. I haven't been this excited or awakened by a book for a decade." - Glennon Doyle, New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising Christianity Gender Studies Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts Social Sciences Spirituality

It was heartwarming to see how humbly the author approaches each topic and how she is aware of her own potential biases and illustrates how commonly held ideals are upheld without question. Very well researched and incredibly human whilst still feeling quite profound, spiritual and perhaps even a little divine in a very mortal way. Thank you Meggan Watterson for taking the time to craft this work. Appreciate it!

I loved this book. There were parts where I disagreed with the author that the Christianity she shared from Mary's gospel and others, wasn't already the kind of Christianity we have, because it's already the Christianity I have. And that was a reminder that Christianity has almost never been a one size fits thing.

There were also parts where I felt my belief systems unfurling and growing from her insights into the early Christian and Mary inclusive story.

I expected it to be more explicitly about Mary's gospel. A telling and explanation of that. Yet despite it being much more a story of the Author's journey and her learnings and Mary experiences, I wasn't disappointed in the unexpected way it unfolded.

Beautifully spoken too. I could have listened, and did, to the Author's voice for hours.

I would recommend this book to fellow Catholics and Christians also feeling the shifts going on with their faith, towards, or back to the very essence of the early Christ and Mary teachings. It is certainly time for these stories to not only be told but listened to by the faithful and others.

The kind of Christianity I have
