Discover the Gospel truth about the most myth-understood woman of the New Testament. Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute? An adulteress? The wife of Jesus? An ancient goddess? Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of BAD GIRLS OF THE BIBLE, combines heartfelt contemporary fiction with extensive biblical research to bring to life the real Mary Magdalene of the Bible. Previously released as MAD MARY in 2001, UNVEILING MARY MADGALENE opens with the fictional journey of Mary Margaret Delaney, a madwoman adrift in contemporary Chicago, desperate for someone to save her from herself. Her moving story, closely paralleling the biblical account, is followed by a thorough, verse-by-verse study of the first-century Mary Magdalene and her life-changing encounters with the Christ. Ancient myths and modern misconceptions are carefully examined and swept aside to unveil the real Mary Magdalene of the Bible.
