HISTORY. Mary Magdalene- probably the Bible's most enigmatic and controversial figure- has fired the imagination of artists, writers, philosophers and historians for nearly two thousand years. In the search for the true story and character of this mysterious female deciple of Jesus, the author takes the reader through the gospels of the New Testament, the Gnostic Gosples and Nag Hammadi texts of relatively recent discovery to the High Middle Ages when adoration of Mary Magdalene was at its height. Dr. Ralls considers both the Western tradition of Mary Magdalene which documents her escaping persecution in Palestine and landing in the south of France with a large party including her brother Lazarus and sister Martha; and the Eastern tradition in which she ends her days as a hermit in Ephesus in what is modern day Turkey.
