Mary Magdalene Revealed – The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel & the Christianity We Haven’t Tried Yet by Meggan Watterson

A gospel, as ancient & authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian Bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse. Now, thanks to their disobedience & spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

Mary’s gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a “true human being”- that is, a person who has remembered that while we are a messy, limited ego & we are also a limitless soul.

All we need to do is to turn inward (again & again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what’s more real, lasting, infinite & already here, within.

With searing clarity, Watterson explains how & why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute & relates a more historically & theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. In Mary Magdalene Revealed, she shares how this discovery of Mary’s gospel has allowed her to practice & to experience a love that never ends; a love that transforms everything.
