FREE: Mary Magdalen Myth and Metaphor by Susan Haskins

The listing, Mary Magdalen Myth and Metaphor by Susan Haskins has ended.

The book is packed with delights. It takes us on a journey through the four Gospels, the way that the early Fathers of the Church developed views of Jesus's teaching, the history of iconography, the narratives of medieval and Renaissance poems and plays, the recently discovered and newly translated Gnostic gospels of Nag Hammadi, Victorian photographic pornography and much more. The figure of Mary Magdalen becomes a lens through which to try to glimpse the prejudices of each century.-The Independent on Sunday.
