The early Christians formed communities to follow the risen Jesus. One such community wrote down its gospel story, but sometime in those early years, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene disappeared.
In 1945, it surfaced in the Cairo marketplace, and today, contemporary Christians are embracing the message of this Magdalene Gospel.
The Magdalene Mystique invites readers into the spiritual life of an actual community that celebrates Mary Magdalene as mystic and visionary, beloved companion of Jesus, and first witness to the resurrection., Following Mary's gospel, the community seeks to embody an ethos of equality and justice.
With historic background based on the scholarship of prominent researchers including Karen King and Jane Schaberg, plus prayers, liturgies, and real-life stories, this is a powerful book for group study and private devotion.

The Gospel of Mary resurfaced in 1945 in a Cairo marketplace and today many contemporary Christians embrace its message. In fact, the Magdalene Community at St. Brigid's Place in America actually celebrates Mary as mystic and visionary, beloved companion of Jesus and first witness to the resurrection. Betty Conrad Adam is its Spiritual Director and here offers an overview of the Gospel of Mary; reviews the Church's long history of misunderstanding her; reconstructs early Magdalene spirituality; offers practical advice, prayers and liturgy for living Magdalene spirituality today and more. This is an ideal book for group study and private devotion. In an age where there are many whacko ideas about Mary Magdalene, it is refreshing to find a work that is neither hysterical nor academic, and thus accessible to both Christians and the interested lay person.
Betty Conrad Adam, an Episcopal priest, is resident theologian at Christ Church Cathedral, Houston, and spiritual director of Brigid's Place, and facilitator of the Magdalene Community at Brigid's Place, USA.
