Book Review of Mary, Called Magdalene

Mary, Called Magdalene
reviewed Mary, Called Magdalene on
Helpful Score: 3


I just completed the book last night, and it has taken a while! What I liked best about it was the "human" face it put on all the players: Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the disciples, the families. In Biblical accounts, the reader tends to forget that these were humans with all their flaws and complicated histories, as well as families to consider. Ms. George does an amazing job of research in all her books, and I have thoroughly enjoyed each one. She does an excellent job of blending history with carefully created fiction.
