For the first time, the incredible story of Mary Magdalene is told through her own eyes. In the first century A.D., the free-spirited Mary flees the marriage her family has arranged for her, finding refuge and a sense of purpose in a radical new movement led by the charismatic, rabble-rousing preacher Jesus.

"Here's the truth, sister: Mary Magdalene has been knocking at the door of my heart for three years. "She got squeezed out of Bad Girls of the Bible when I realized I needed more time to research her complex story. Then she was dropped from the roster for Really Bad Girls of the Bible because Tamar and Bathsheba took up more than their allotted pages. (Pushy, huh?) Now I know the real reason why Mary M waited so patiently in the wings: She deserves...

Description
Approaching the subject of Jesus' marital status from a fresh, historical perspective and without appealing to sensationalist stories or dismissing Jesus' sexuality on theological grounds, Le Donne places Jesus firmly within his sociocultural context. By investigating gender and marriage norms -- as well as a number of social outliers who defied them -- he provocatively argues that Jesus might have been married before he was thirty years of age. Le...

Description
Among the major museums of the world there are certainly others that own more complete series of this or that school, more significant masterpieces by this or that artist, but there are few that provide quite as varied a representation of European painting from Cimabue to the nineteenth century. Such diversity derives both from the history of the museum and from the manner in which its collections were established, and it distinguishes the Louvre...
