Book Review of Mary, Called Magdalene

Mary, Called Magdalene
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 3


This was an excellent book. With very little information from the original source (the Bible) but with lots of historical research, the author puts together the possible story of Mary Magdalene. This has been a controversial character, often judged by misinformation or by lack of cultural knowledge of the time. Not in this book. You get the feeling that Mary Magdalene is telling you her story herself, she becomes believable, and elicits understanding and compassion.
I could not put this book down. I highly recommend it.
