Review
A fascinating book! Clearly and sympathetically written, this is a feast of well digested learning. (Margaret Barker, author of Temple Theology )
“This is an incisive, beguilingly written study of Mary Magdalene, giving a fascinating insight into her importance in the New Testament and in the Gnostic writings, and her image down to the present day.” (Susan Haskins, author of MARY MAGDALENE: Myth and Metaphor )
A brilliant and beautifully written book. (Publishers Weekly (starred review) )
“A beautifully written and scholarly account of one of history’s most fascinating women” (Salley Vickers, author of Miss Garnet’s Angel )
Beautifully written and illustrated, Beloved Disciple will be as fascinating to lay people as it will be welcomed by theologians and historians. I congratulate the Master of the Temple on a fine and timely achievement. (P.D. James, author of The Lighthouse )
[T]akes a trendy Da Vinci Code topic and provides the scriptural and historical background that gave writers like Dan Brown license to cast Mary Magadalene as Jesus’s presumed wife. Recommended. (Library Journal )
