The Fly in the Ointment

Exploring the transformation of Mary Magdalene's image from a devoted witness of Jesus' life to a misunderstood figure labeled as a sinner, this book delves into her historical and theological significance. It highlights her pivotal role in the Gospels and contrasts it with her later portrayal as a marginalized character. By examining Gnostic texts, the narrative reclaims her status as a beloved disciple and a seeker of knowledge, challenging traditional interpretations and advocating for her rightful place in religious history.
