As long as the author sticks to retelling the story of Mary Magdalene based on the text of the Gospel of Mary (the actual ancient text) she is good. She makes great poetical interpretations of many original passages. However when she has to completely make things up to infuse the plot with personal story of Mary, Jesus and the apostles she defaults to a chic lit, neo-pagan, new-agey kind of mode. Not that there is anything wrong with it (as Jerry Seinfield once said) but I expected a little bit more thought and originality and creativity. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Before, there were four Gospels - by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Now there is a fifth - the Gospel according to Mary Magdalene. In the parched soil of Provence, a fifth gospel has been discovered, Mary Magdalene's account of Jesus' teaching and her relationship with him.It is a book of revelation, for it unveils a new Christianity, one which embraces the female equally with the male and acknowledges and celebrates women's spirituality. A passionate story of love and search, of separation and rebirth, The Secret Gospel imagines an alternative history for the much maligned Mary Magdalene, where she runs away from her family but returns to be captivated, both emotionally and theologically, by Jesus.The Secret Gospel of Mary Magdalene is a brilliant and moving vision of Christianity that is also startlingly modern in its conclusions.

Worth a read for a slightly feminist view of Jesus' life and the way that things could be warped. ( )
