Secrets of Mary Magdalene: The Untold Story of History's Most Misunderstood Woman

A very well-done and interesting book. Among the most interesting bits, to me at least, were:

The 'truth' about her has been kept basically under-cover by the Church for over a thousand years.

There are no books in the Bible written by women. The Gospel of Mary, a Gnostic work, may or may not have been written by a woman but it's emphasis is on Mary as a teacher.

Peter said that women are not worthy of spiritual life.

He also wanted control of the group and refused to allow a woman a leadership position of any kind.

There has been at least one relatively recent hoax about her and a place in France.

The Gospels were written decades after the actual events (and they were also written with a slant on purpose by men.)
