MEANING OF MARY MAGDALENE by Cynthia Bourgeault

by: Cynthia Bourgeault

In the last magazine we did very well with Mary Magdalene titles but we also did well with Cynthia’s most recent title, The Eye of the Heart. Consequently it made sense now to showcase her best-known book, which is about Mary Magdalene and was published in 2010. Cynthia is a Christian and a scholar, so this book is thorough and careful about the source material, which includes very little in the Bible itself: there is though much to be gleaned from legend, art and newly discovered documents. It’s a great sourcebook on the actual facts, as it were, but as ever she is inevitably drawn to the importance of Mary and the hopes she carries for the rejuvenation of an out-of-touch Christianity. Mary is also available to all people of all beliefs, as an example of feminine wisdom and of a non-dual approach to the spiritual path.
