About this listen

 A gospel, as ancient and authentic as any of the gospels that the Christian bible contains, was buried deep in the Egyptian desert after an edict was sent out in the 4th century to have all copies of it destroyed. Fortunately, some rebel monks were wise enough to refuse-and thanks to their disobedience and spiritual bravery, we have several manuscripts of the only gospel that was written in the name of a woman: The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Mary's gospel reveals a radical love that sits at the heart of the Christian story. Her gospel says that we are not sinful; we are not to feel ashamed or unworthy for being human. In fact, our purpose is to be fully human, to be a "true human being"-that is, a person who has remembered that, yes, we are a messy, limited ego, and we are also a limitless soul. And all we need to do is to turn inward (again and again); to meditate, like Mary Magdalene, in the way her gospel directs us, so that we can see past the ego of our own little lives to what's more real, and lasting, and infinite, and already here, within. With searing clarity, Watterson explains how and why Mary Magdalene came to be portrayed as the penitent prostitute and relates a more historically and theologically accurate depiction of who Mary was within the early Christ movement. And she shares how this discovery of Mary's gospel has allowed her to practice, and to experience, a love that never ends, a love that transforms everything. "This book is a masterpiece. I haven't been this excited or awakened by a book for a decade." - Glennon Doyle, New York Times best-selling author of Love Warrior and founder of Together Rising Christianity Gender Issues Ministry & Evangelism Occult Other Religions, Practices & Sacred Texts Social Sciences Spirituality Unexplained Mysteries Women's Studies

I picked up Mary Magdalene Revealed hoping to learn about Mary Magdalene and her gospel. Unfortunately, the book barely delivers on that promise. Around 95% of it is about the author’s personal life, reflections, and spiritual journey, while Mary and her actual gospel are only briefly discussed. It felt more like a memoir than a serious exploration of Mary Magdalene’s story or historical significance. The title is misleading — it comes off as clickbait. If you’re looking for a deep or focused study on Mary Magdalene, this book will likely leave you frustrated and disappointed.
