Overview of The Quest for Mary Magdalene Book
Mary Magdalene is a potent and enigmatic figure. In the gospels she finances Jesus mission in Galilee and is the only person with Jesus at his crucifixion, burial and resurrection the critical moments that define his purpose and give rise to a new religion. Yet in the sixth century Mary Magdalene fell foul of a profound argument in which the established, ritualised and hierarchical Church required that God be worshipped through itself, whereas everything about Mary Magdalene suggests a more immediate and personal experience of the divine. Pope Gregory reduced Mary Magdalene from an independent visionary to a sinner and a prostitute while making Jesus mother Mary, who is a nonentity in the gospels, into a creature of the Church, hailing her as the epitome of all things feminine and holy. In the Quest for Mary Magdalene, historian Michael Haag presents Mary Magdalene as the woman at the center of Jesus s life, a visionary and a radically independent woman. He explores how she has been used and abused and reinterpreted in every age and he examines what she reveals about men and women, Jesus and God.
