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

Product Information

According to the author Mary Magdalene was the only person who was able to fully perceive Christ in her heart and this was the reason she had also been His first apostle, the apostle to the apostles.

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. I suppose I was expecting more from Mary and less from Meggan but it was still an enlightening and enjoyable read with some deeply touching insights that confirm the very personal and direct relationship I've cultivated and come to know between myself and The Christ. Meggan Watterson is a theologian who studied at Harvard Divinity School and Columbia University’s Theological Seminary. The book started off strong for me, lost me towards the middle, and then picked me up again at the end for a strong finish. I am only 2 hours in and while the author's autobiographical narratives are nice stories, they do little to teach me about what I came to this book to learn.

Her work has appeared in media outlets such as The New York Times, Forbes, The Huffington Post, and Marie Claire.Perhaps it was this that stuck in the craw of the bible-compilers in the 4th century as they effectively airbrushed her out of the picture to give full dominance to the men. MEGGAN WATTERSON is the author of REVEAL, The Sutras of Unspeakable Joy, The Divine Feminine Oracle, and Mary Magdalene Revealed.
