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.

¿Sabía que ni la manzana del Paraíso ni la ballena de Jonás aparecen en la Biblia? ¿Cómo se explica que Matusalén muriera a los 969 años? ¿Por qué aparece en el relato del Paraíso una serpiente como encarnación del Diablo y no cualquier otro animal? ¿Se transformó la mujer de Lot realmente en una estatua de sal?

Das Markenzeichen der Autorin Rita J. Sührig - Diplomtheologin, Lektorin und "Zertifizierte Bibelerzählerin" mit Auftritten auf Bibel-TV: Sie schlüpft in die Rolle des jeweiligen Protagonisten und vermittelt dem Zuhörenden das Gefühl, das Ereignis fände unmittelbar im Hier und Heute statt. Auch die Sozialgeschichte lässt sie einfließen. Es gibt kein "Es war einmal" und auch die Moral am Schluss fehlt. Vielmehr möchte sie anregen zu eigenem Nachdenken und vielleicht auch Nachlesen des biblischen Textes.
