Description

A través de la historia de María Magdalena, Margaret George narra un período clave de la Historia: el nacimiento del cristianismo.María Magdalena se caracterizó desde sus primeros años por su deseo de conocimiento, así como por sus visiones. Su encuentro con un joven profeta, Jesús, la ayudó a encontrar un sentido a su propia vida. María pasó a formar parte del círculo más cercano de Jesús, contribuyendo activamente a la forja de una nueva fe, no sin grandes sacrificios personales. Su elección, sin embargo, le obligó a renunciar a su marido y a su hija, un sacrificio que despertó toda clase de rumores que han llegado hasta nuestros días.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe New York Times bestselling author of Elizabeth I reveals the untold story of Mary Magdalene—a disciple of Jesus Christ and the most mysterious woman in the Bible.Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute, a female divinity figure, a church leader, or all of those? Biblical references to her are tantalizingly brief, but we do know that she was the first person to whom the risen Christ appeared—and the one commissioned to tell others the good news, earning her the ancient honorific, “Apostle to the Apostles.” Today, Mary continues to spark controversy, curiosity, and veneration. In a vivid re-creation of Mary Magdalene’s life story, Margaret George convincingly captures this renowned woman’s voice as she moves from girlhood to womanhood, becomes part of the circle of disciples, and comes to grips with the divine. While grounded in biblical scholarship and secular research, Mary Magdalene ultimately transcends both history and fiction to become a “diary of a soul.”
