In Memory of Her: Mary Magdalene, Beacon of Light (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781906900618)

Who was Mary Magdalene and why has her voice been silenced? She beckons to us through the shrouds of history, a woman of such spiritual stature that she became the first to open our consciousness to the risen Christ. She brings a vision of a Christianity in which masculine and feminine meet as intimate and equal partners. A vision never more needed than today. Irina Kuzminsky's thought-provoking introduction to this remarkable woman precedes a verse narrative, interposed with biblical and gnostic quotations, retelling the Christian story from Mary's spiritual perspective. All is crafted to bring us closer to this woman seen by her contemporaries as an embodiment of Sophia - the archetype of feminine wisdom - and as Jesus' true companion and partner in his work.
