From Booklist
Interest in Mary Magdalene, the quasi-legendary woman of the Gospels who stood in an ambiguous relationship to Jesus, is booming just now. According to noncanonical sources, she was Jesus' wife, and probably not the prostitute with whom she is often conflated or confused. Among those unorthodox sources is one of the fragmentary early texts rejected by the church fathers and now called the gnostic gospels. Found in 1945 at Nag Hammadi in the Egyptian desert, it is a short but complex Coptic text that appears to render the voice of Mary Magdalene. This volume contains English translations of Leloup's French version of the original and Leloup's extensive commentary, which discloses the theology that inspired the lost gospel. Less dualistic and more woman-affirming than the canonical quartet, the Magdalene's gospel might be embraced by contemporary seekers, both Christian and non-Christian.

Review
"The Gospel of Mary, taken with the inspired commentary by Jean-Yves Leloup, can help toward making the teaching of Jesus once again alive." (Jacob Needleman, author of Lost Christianity and The American Soul)"Leloup's commentary presents a scholarly translation with an inspirational and passionate interpretation. . . . Going beyond the gospels to the laws of the Torah and the philosophical writings of Kant, the author at once discovers the truer meanings of an ancient text and a message as important today as it was two millennia ago." (Steven Sora, author of The Lost Treasure of the Knights Templar)"Readers will welcome this perceptive translation of the Gnostic 'Gospel of Mary' and the insightful commentary by scholar-mystic Jean-Yves Leloup. The journey of the soul and other profound and subtle teachings of Jesus and his beloved Miriam will enlighten modern seekers." (Margaret Starbird, author of The Woman with the Alabaster Jar)"One welcomes this solid telling of the story and meaning of a neglected text at the root of Christian wisdom, and of a neglected figure who had a special relationship both with the historical Jesus in his lifetime and with the Christ spirit after the death of Jesus." (Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing)" . . . the Magdalene's gospel might be embraced by contemporary seekers, both Christian and non-Christian." (Patricia Monaghan, Booklist American Library Association, April 2002)"There are some fascinating glimpses at gender politics between the earliest followers of Jesus and the enigmatic personage of Mary Magdalene. Christians have come to think of her (with no basis in biblical fact) as the repentant prostitute, while to his followers she was the one Jesus loved 'differently from other women.'" (KJ, Napra ReView, May/June 2002)"He sets the record straight and provides ample commentary on where the historical records went astray." (New Women New Church, Summer 2003, Vol.26 No.2)"I love this gospel . . . it speaks such truth as the Church desperately needs in these times." (John Gilbert, Ph.D., Gnostic News, December 2003)"The commentary by Professor LeLoup is beautifully done. He is indeed a scholar of the earth Church." (John Gilbert, The Temple of Gnostic Yoga, December 2003)"Powerful, almost Taoist in range, this is an important book and should be read by anyone interested in Mary Magdalene or the early Church." (Pamela Crossland, TCM Reviews)

If these weren't spiritual matters it would blow me away that the authors of these Mary Magdalene books can so easily create doctrines and write off the Gospel of the New Testament based on obscure and questionable documents that only recently "surfaced." While writing off the faith of the historical and majority of Christiandom which is based on the Bible, they set forth a gospel of their own, decrying Biblical Christianity as ignorance while projecting their own views as "educated" and "scholarly". Their Gospel is definately different than that declared by Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, and other in the New Testament. The Gospel of the New Testament has the power to save. Jesus came to earth to die in the place sinful humanity so that whoever would put his only hope of being made right before God (justification) can have eternal life through Christ taking our punishment on himself. Paul has something to say about this sort of thing in his letter to the Galatians: "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel-not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed (Galatians 1:6-9)"
I have known since I was a child that what was written in the Bible was not the whole story-- and much is intentionally deceitful, and other important parts were omitted. Many translations were altered intentionally, while others were for power and control. I am delighted that the truth is being revealed to the masses. Whether they chose to further explore or not is up to them.
Studying the gospels, I finally came across this book. I highly recommend! The gospel itself is very short, the rest is commentaries. But good ones. Be aware she was not the prostitute/adulterous woman from the New Testament.15-26 “What is the sin of the world?†The Teacher answered: There is no sin. It is you who make sin exist, when you act according to the habits of your corrupted nature; this is where sin lies…This is why you become sick, and why you die: it is the result of your actionsâ€8:1-5 “Attachment to matter gives rise to passion against nature. Thus trouble arises in the whole body; this is why I tell you: ‘Be in harmony’.â€8:15-20 “ Be vigilant, and allow no one to mislead you by saying ‘Here it is!’ Or ‘There it is’ For it is within you that the Son of Man dwells.â€9:1 “Impose no law other than that which I have witnessedâ€17:15-17 “(Peter who was a known misogynist) How it is possible that the Teacher talked in this manner with a woman about secrets of which we ourselves are ignorant? Must we change our customs, and listen to this woman? Did he really choose her, and prefer her to us?â€18:12 “Who are you to reject her?†Things I loved in this little book: Jesus is seen as a man, a special one, a teacher. She teaches minimalism. She teaches that Jesus dwells within ourselves. It is a feminist gospel. Explanations of the soul supports ideologies such as Spiritism.
"The Gospel of Mary Magdalene" is a remarkable book in two ways. First, it presents, via Mary Magdalene, a teaching of Jesus that goes to a deeper level than much of the rest of the New Testament. Ontologically, much of this Gospel resembles more profound levels of Indian Vedic knowledge, with emphasis on life lived from the basis of Infinite Absolute Being, though I have to admit, often you do have to read between the lines to get this fully. But it is apparent. The second way in which the book is remarkable is that it gives us a peek at the early Church in which there existed a significant faction that could accept divine wisdom coming from a woman, and in this case, wisdom every bit as deep, if not deeper, than that being taught by the men at the time.The translation of the Gospel itself starts by presenting Jesus speaking his teaching to Mary Magdalene, but very likely, not many of Jesus' disciples besides Mary would have been able to understand it, for the teaching contained in this first part is quite different from, though not, for the most part, contradictory to the other traditional Gospels. Then in a later section, Mary moves to a later time, some time after the Resurrection, when she discusses this teaching of Jesus with a group of the Apostles. Understandably, Peter is quite hostile to her account, basically calling her a liar because it is coming from such a different angle than what the Apostles had heard from Jesus (and because it is coming from a woman). But then Levi comes to her defense, and very nicely. Then this last Gospel fragment of hers ends.Unfortunately, it is Peter's opinion on all this that carries the day in the Church, for not only was Mary Magdalene's account of the teachings of Jesus totally suppressed at the time, but she herself was untruthfully slandered as a prostitute, very likely to aid in the suppression.I will just end by saying that the best part of the book is the translation of Mary's Gospel itself. Jean-Yves Leloup's commentary, which is most of the book, is good scholarly work, and I appreciate that, but it is only that. Scholarship is restricted to the mental and intellectual and is only a starting point. I think that through this Gospel of Jesus, Mary wanted to point us to deeper realms of divine experience within, which is the journey that all of us are on. I only wish that more of her work could have survived the millennia.
