 What a load of tosh!!! December 6, 2007

Gospel??? Pure fiction an distortion. Talking about taking out of context. The absence of any attempt at highlighting the 'true words' to extricate fantasy makes the whole book completely pointless. How anyone can treat this concoction as gnostic or vaguely factual is shocking. If you want sexual fantasy, read Nancy Friday. If you want to know more about Jesus, read the bible.Period.
 A heartfelt communion between Jesus and Magdalene December 3, 2007

This is a book that you will not wish to lend to your friends, because it is one that will not be returned. The heart of this book, its scripture and the excellent narrative by Jean-Yves Leloup is one that you cannot easily forget. The purity and innocence of Magdalene is charming, her questions include how it is possible that she can see Jesus clairvoyantly, the dialog of these beloveds is enchanting. If one knows and understands the other mystic texts, it's not surprising to view the disbelief from the male Apostles regarding Jesus revealing himself to her.
Wonderful Jean, thank you, I recommend it to everyone.

Given the relative neglect of Mary Magdalene by the orthodox Church, her role for the Cathars, and given that this gospel's text intrigues me, a helpful commentary of this Gospel would be welcome.
It's not this one: the commentary is mostly LeLoup's advice, not particularly gnostic and not focused so much on this gospel. There seems to be little attention to any relevant conditions of the times when the Gospel was written. At times the commentary sounds like pop psychology. I'm afraid I didn't learn anything from Leloup's commentary.
Fortunely, an outstanding commentary on the Gospel of Mary exists: "The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the Woman Apostle" by Karen King of Harvard Divinity School.

This gosple reveals an insight into the true gender politics within the early christian church, in this gosple Mary is a companion to Christ and a chief disciple, she is very different form the Mary portrayed in the canonical Gosples of today, it is interesting to read how Mary also faces discimination from her fellow disciples who reject her understaning of Christs word. Mary also gives an insight into the early Jesus and offers a totally different perspective than that being offered by the modern day church on spirituality and its true meaning. I highly recomend this Gosple its very thought provoking. Maybe thats the reason why it was ommitted by the early church fathers !
