WHY JESUS DIDN'T MARRY MARY MAGDALENE Book review


66543
Title: WHY JESUS DIDN'T MARRY MARY MAGDALENE
Author: JOHN VAN SCHAIK
Subtitled 'A Short History of Esoteric Christianity', this book is an antidote to the vague theories and fantastic claims that have long surrounded the question of the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Dan Browne's The Da Vinci Code proposed a theory that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and this idea has caught the popular imagination worldwide. Where the Church has simply tried to dismiss the question, this fascinating book addresses it head-on and seriously considers all the evidence. Van Schaik uses his vast knowledge of esoteric Christianity to explore Christian history and the secret practices of the time of Jesus. To the likely disappointment of conspiracy theorists, he concludes firmly that they were not a couple. 142pp in softback.
Published Price: £8.99
BIBLIOPHILE PRICE: £4
