Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel & the Christianity We Haven't Tried Yet

Product Information

It’s no exaggeration to say that Mary Magdalene Revealed feels like the book I’ve been waiting for since the first time I sat in a church and asked why, if God was a Father, there was no Mother to go with him? 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.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s a big hole in the story of Jesus Christ – and indeed Christianity (like I did) – you will want to add Mary Magdalene Revealed to your bookshelf right away. 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. MEGGAN WATTERSON is the author of REVEAL, The Sutras of Unspeakable Joy, The Divine Feminine Oracle, and Mary Magdalene Revealed. The word soul to me describes that eternal aspect of our being; an aspect that allows us to feel loved, and to experience that we are love. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene reveals a very different love story from the one we’ve come to refer to as Christianity.

I felt that she got a few translations wrong as well: I don't think "anthropos" has the connotation of fully divine and fully human that she says it does (and I would have appreciated a source to tell me where she got that idea from! With deep honesty, soulful artistry, and intellectual rigor, Meggan brings us a picture of the real Mary Magdalene-the one who is alive in each of our hearts-and leads us through how to experience and live from the Christ in each of us in our daily lives.

Ascension according to the Gospel of Mary is more accurately a descent into the heart; so farther up is actually further in. When a book is too esoteric or existential that only the author knows what the heck he or she is talking about--well forget it. She is a soul doula, gently holding our hands as we cross the river to spiritual healing and emotional salvation through these pages. As it is with books like this, new age and focusing on the feminine, it's a treasure of connections, messages, it's layers upon layers of notes from the Universe.

I also agree that humans are inherently good, and that sin may have been misunderstood, and that the dismissal of the Gnostic texts is completely arbitrary and in some cases patriarchal. Female spiritual leaders also appear in other religions from Isis in Ancient Egyptian mythology to Tibetan Green Tara, a female buddha (see page 54 of this book to learn more). Give yourself the gift of immersing yourself in the profound love accessible to all that Meggan magnificently illuminates [in this book]. What’s for sure is that Jesus intended for Mary to be part of the process – not excluded and tossed aside. This book is written to re-emphasize the teachings of Mary who was the closest female follower of Jesus.
