Over the centuries, this led to the portrayal of Christ as a chaste virgin, above physical needs-a portrayal at odds with his reason for an earthbound existence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs theologian and author Arthur H. Bishop points out, \"Silence says nothing and never has.\" In a society where the vast majority of men married, why would Jesus's marriage even be considered worth noting? It would simply be expected and accepted.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho was the wife of Christ, if she existed? Bishop argues, with convincing logic, that only one woman fits the bill. The wife of Jesus would have travelled with him. She would have stayed by his side, even as he suffered on the cross. And she, more than anyone else, would have had reason to keep vigil at his tomb.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMary Magdalene was the bride of Christ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur H.
