Insights from Ancient Magdala

Mary Magdalene was real. Her life challenges, struggles, and joys were real. Her life was truly transformed by Jesus. Therefore, it must be possible to "unearth" pieces of what was real by digging through the layers of two thousand years of reflection about her. In the process of discovery, may we "unveil the mystery" that Mary Magdalene embodies, and glean treasures for our own life that can inspire purpose and meaning.

A staggeringly popular work of fiction, Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code has stood atop The New York Times Bestseller List for well over a year, with millions of copies in print. But this fast-paced mystery is unusual in that the author states up front that the historical information in the book
is all factually accurate. But is this claim true?
As historian Bart D. Ehrman shows in this informative and witty book, The Da Vinci Code is filled with numerous historical mistakes. Did the ancient church engage in a cover-up to make the man Jesus into a divine figure? Did Emperor Constantine select for the New Testament--from some 80
contending Gospels--the only four Gospels that stressed that Jesus was divine? Was Jesus Christ married to Mary Magdalene? Did the Church suppress Gospels that told the secret of their marriage? Bart Ehrman thoroughly debunks all of these claims. But the book is not merely a laundry list of Brown's
misreading of history. Throughout, Ehrman offers a wealth of fascinating background information--all historically accurate--on early Christianity. He describes, for instance, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (which are not Christian in content, contrary to The Da Vinci Code); outlines in simple
terms how scholars of early Christianity determine which sources are most reliable; and explores the many other Gospels that have been found in the last half century.
Ehrman separates fact from fiction, the historical realities from the flights of literary fancy. Readers of The Da Vinci Code who would like to know the truth about the beginnings of Christianity and the life of Jesus will find this book riveting.

Waiting to be rediscovered in the British Library is an ancient manuscript of the early Church, copied by an anonymous monk. The manuscript is at least 1,450 years old, possibly dating to the first century. And now, The Lost Gospel provides the first ever translation from Syriac into English of this unique document that tells the inside story of Jesus’ social, family, and political life.The Lost Gospel takes the reader on an unparalleled historical adventure through a paradigm shifting manuscript. What the authors eventually discover is as astounding as it is surprising: the confirmation of Jesus’ marriage to Mary Magdalene; the names of their two children; the towering presence of Mary Magdalene; a previously unknown plot on Jesus’ life (thirteen years prior to the crucifixion); an assassination attempt against Mary Magdalene and their children; Jesus’ connection to political figures at the highest level of the Roman Empire; and a religious movement that antedates that of Paul—the Church of Mary Magdalene.Part historical detective story, part modern adventure, The Lost Gospel reveals secrets that have been hiding in plain sight for millennia.

Tellings from the Ever Primal Story

In the final volume of her acclaimed trilogy Through the Eyes of Mary Magdalene, Estelle Isaacson intimates a connection between Magdalene and Repanse de Schoye, who lived nine centuries later in the Grail family, a sister to Anfortas, the Grail King wounded by the Sky-Fallen Lance, which according to tradition is the same that pierced the side of Christ Jesus--even as the Chalice used to collect the blood flowing from that wound is said to have been the Holy Grail, later in Repanse's keeping as Grail Bearer at Montsalvat. As the Magdalene visions ended, a new cycle began on Repanse and the Grail Family, and the intimation mentioned became a visioned certainty that the two women were incarnations of the same eternal individuality, of whom then the present volume constitutes a continuing "spiritual biography." Central to the work is an urgent call to take up again the quest for the Holy Grail in the changed and challenging conditions of our time. Opening messages and a prologue on the City of the Grail and the Grail Bearers are followed in Part One with the story of the young Repanse de Schoye. Part Two portrays the relationship between Repanse and her brother Anfortas, meant to be Bearers of Divine Love, but failing in this task through Anfortas's fall to the wiles of Dengresse, as described in Part Four. As an intermezzo, Part Three tells the story of the Knight Who Buries and Unburies His Armor, a teaching on the Divine Father and destiny. Part Four continues with accounts of Parsifal's first visit to the Grail Castle, his meeting with Anfortas at Emerald Lake, and the story of the Knight With Downcast Eyes. Part Five plays out between Parsifal's first and second visits to the Grail Castle, providing a fascinating look at his relationship with Kyot, cousin of Charlemagne. We hear also the story of the Gardener Knight. In Part Six, Parsifal returns to the Grail Castle, where Anfortas is finally healed, and his half-brother Fierefiz marries Repanse. The book ends with messages on the Disciples of the Night and the Bleeding Lance, the Power of Utter Powerlessness, and the epoch of Philadelphia. "We are all part of the Grail stream. We have each a role in the Grail story that is now revealing itself further, bringing to light characters as yet unknown, or lost to memory, as well as their stories--stories that may echo in our depths and illuminate our destinies." From Grail Bearers: Bringing Heaven and Earth Together

Journalist Maureen Pascal discovers that she is destined to play a key role in an international quest to gain control of a priceless series of scrolls, written in the first century by Mary Magdalene and hidden in the wilds of the French Pyrenees.

Of all the women in the #Bible, perhaps no one's presence has been as constantly reinterpreted as that of #MaryMagdalene. Was she a prostitute? A prophet? In Margaret George's #epic #historical novel, Mary, Called Magdalene (Geroge's previous subjects include #HenryVIII, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Cleopatra), Mary comes alive as one of #Jesus' first believers, a woman of infallible visions and a faith that earns her the title "#Apostle to the Apostles." With numerous biblical and scholarly texts serving as the core of this intriguing woman's story, George recreates the world of Galilean fishermen and the oppressions of the #Jewish people under Roman rule. Cast out from her family after Jesus expels the demons that have ravaged her mind, Mary follows the man from Nazareth until they receive attention from the skeptical hordes and the #Roman magistrates controlling #Jerusalem.

Mary, from beginning to end of this giant undertaking, is a woman who struggles to reconcile her absence from her young daughter's life with the chance to be part of something important. Through the lens of her ever-inquisitive mind, the story covers the formation of Jesus' ragtag band of disciples and the crucifixion, and ends with Mary's mission as the head of the Christian church in Ephesus, where she died at the age of 90. What makes this a compelling read is that Mary's story connects humanity with faith in a way that's possible to understand, whatever our contemporary beliefs. --Emily Russin
