About this listen

Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Although she is discussed in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew in the collection of writings known as the Gnostic gospels that were rejected by the early Christian church, there is no better insight into this mysterious and influential woman than Mary's own gospel.

The gospel text and the spiritual interpretation of Leloup together reveal unique teachings that emphasize the eminence of the divine feminine and an abiding love of nature over the dualistic and ascetic interpretations of Christianity presented elsewhere. What emerges from this important source text and commentary is a renewal of the sacred feminine in the Western spiritual tradition and a new vision for Christian thought and faith throughout the world.

What the critics say

"Less dualistic and more woman-affirming than the canonical quartet, the Magdalene's gospel might be embraced by contemporary seekers, both Christian and non-Christian." (Booklist)

meh

The entire book is just commentary. As we know, most of the pages are missing, so the first 5 minutes are the actual gospel, the rest is author commentary or wtv. Not worth the $ imo or a credit. i gave it 2 stars because it at least gives you the gospel, but the gospel itself is very random with big gaps between pages. you don't really know what you're listening to because the moment it hints at potentially giving some context, the next page/ lines are missing. I'm sure I could have found this for free online somewhere.
