The author of The Wisdom Jesus takes readers on a journey to discover the real Mary Magdalene—and finds a powerful, ancient model for 21st-century spirituality Mary Magdalene is one of the most influential symbols in the history of Christianity—yet, if you look in the Bible, you’ll find only a handful of verses that speak of her. How did she become such a compelling saint in the face of such paltry evidence? In her effort to answer that question, Cynthia Bourgeault examines the Bible, church tradition, art, legend, and newly discovered texts to see what’s there. She then applies her own reasoning and intuition, informed by the wisdom of the ages-old Christian contemplative tradition. What emerges is a radical view of Mary Magdalene as Jesus’s most important disciple, the one he considered to understand his teaching best. That teaching was characterized by a nondualistic approach to the world and by a deep understanding of the value of the feminine. Cynthia shows how an understanding of Mary Magdalene can revitalize contemporary Christianity, how Christians and others can, through her, find their way to Jesus’s original teachings and apply them to their modern lives.

I want to add my voice to the chorus of rave reviews on this book. While I am tremendously inspired by Reverend Bourgeault, and have read several of her books, what I most want to say is that she is a scholar and intellect of the highest caliber. I'm a research scientist myself and even published historians often stray from the facts to arrive at unjustified conclusions. It is fine to do that, as long as you identify speculation, value judgements and conclusions that don't follow from the data as such. Bourgeault is ultra-conscientious about characterizing speculations as just that, while also providing careful, considered justifications and rationale for doing so. Bourgealt is conservative and judicious in her analyses, has no particular "feminist" agenda, for example (not that there would be anything wrong with it if she did, as an aside I hate the unwarranted, muddy associations with the word feminist that seem legion today, but that's another story).My own interest in Mary Magdalene has more to do with her role as a disciple, and the extent to which early writings that detailed her role as an apostle were excluded from the bible. Bourgealt does an impressive job of analyzing the commonalities and differences in the accounts that WERE included, first off- and on that basis alone it seems obvious that the story was butchered to suit male sensibilities of the time. She also compares the "gnostic" gospels to the accepted ones, discussing attendant issues in very fine detail. I've read a number of analyses of Gnostic materials and this is a favorite. I think Christians of all denominations should read this.In a nutshell, Bourgealt is one of those rare people that seems light-filled and divinely inspired, while also evincing astonishing depth and breadth of scholarship, rigor in her analyses, and a gift for writing shimmering prose. Her work is SUCH a pleasure to read and edifying in the process- the best of all worlds. Highest recommendation!
