Mary Magdalene Revealed

For centuries Mary Magdalene was cast as a penitent sinner. The Gospel that bears her name — buried in the Egyptian desert and lost for more than fifteen hundred years — tells a different story.

Mary Magdalene Revealed offers a verse-by-verse reading of the Gospel of Mary, one of the texts left out of the biblical canon. Watterson explores its portrait of Magdalene not as a fallen woman but as a spiritual teacher and the disciple who grasped Christ's message most fully — a message she reads as love over fear and inner authority over hierarchy. Part scholarship and part memoir, the book traces how this long-suppressed Gospel speaks to questions of voice, worth, and the sacred feminine, drawing on the Nag Hammadi discoveries and early Christian history.
