THE GOSPELS OF MARY
The Secret Tradition of Mary Magdalene the Companion of Jesus

Marvin Meyer with Esther A. DeBoer

Harper, 2006

From the Publisher: Marvin Meyer, one of the foremost scholars of the Gnostic Gospels, translates and introduces the Gnostic and New Testament texts that together reveal the story and importance of Mary Magdalene. Included are new translations of the Gospels of Mary, Thomas, Philip, and related texts about Mary Magdalene. Meyer discloses, with Esther A. De Boer, the long-suppressed story of Mary's vital role in the life of Jesus and in the formative period after his crucifixion and presents as authentically as possible the real Mary Magdalene.
