Mary Magdalene was a key figure in Christ's life, she was present at his Crucifixion and she was also the first person to see him resurrected. According to Dan Brown's multi-million selling DA VINCI CODE, she was also his wife and the mother of his children. In the Gospels, she is described as an outcast and a harlot. This may be due to the disciples' jealousy of Jesus' love for Mary and the closeness of his relationship with her that was not replicated in his relationships with them. Dan Burstein will, as he has done so successfully with the previous books in the SECRETS series, explode the myths and analyse who Mary Magdalene was, the true nature of her relationship with Christ and her role in the Christian faith. Did Mary write her own Gospel? If so, what did it say? Where did she come from? Was she Jewish? How did she live? So many questions exist about this lady, Google can find mention of her on 1,740,000 sites in 0.3 seconds, and this book will find the answers.
