The Gospel of Mary Magdalene

Christopher Richardson.

The book is an excellent one. Some of the major topics it covers includes:

When the Gospel of Mary was written.
Mary was NOT a prostitute.
How Peter got made at her.
How early Christian churches had different views of things.
Mary was possessed by demons. (This is one thing I strongly disagree with.)
The story of Mary in France.
Jesus could neither read nor write.
A little bit about the Crusaders.
A disciple is not the same thing as a apostle.
Why there are 7 cardinal virtues.
Jesus as a teacher.
The material world and the divine realm.
Prophetic revelation.
The physical body is not one's true self.
The human body is fundamentally pure and good.
The Pistis Sophia.
Fourth century theologians changed the image of Mary to the prostitute idea. 'The portrait of Mary as a repentant prostitute is pure fiction without any historical formation whatsoever.'
The history of Christianity.
The Gospel of Thomas.
Where Mary is mentioned in the Bible.
There is no original sin.
