This book draws on hermeneutics of suspicion and imagination to discover Mary of Magdala in unexplored places in the scriptures. It explores how Mary of Magdala may have met Jesus and who the women were who followed Jesus from a distance. It challenges the legends that only the twelve apostles were with Jesus at the last supper and who witnessed the agony of Jesus in the garden at Gethsemane. In the Gospel of John there is an ’other disciple’ who follows Jesus to the Palace of Annas and it presents the possibility that it was Mary of Magdala. It refutes the legend that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was given into the care of the Apostle John. It explores Mary of Magdala’s role at the resurrection of Jesus and then meeting up with Jesus at Lake Tiberias. It makes a case for consideration that Mary of Magdala was the ’beloved disciple’ of Jesus and author of the Gospel of John. Lastly, it presents Saint Mary of Magdala as an inspiration for women today.
