5.0 out of 5 stars Rabbit out of a hat, 25 Oct 2007
By calmly - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
How did Karen King pull a riveting 200 page rabbit out of an ancient, several page long hat? The good news that it was no trick. This gospel and King's commentary are substantial.

I have a special place in my heart for scholars who can reach me at my level: not by dumbing down their message but by lifting me up via gifted explanation. Karen King is indeed gifted.

That gift consists not just of knowledge and communication skills, but of a deep honesty that keeps her open and, it seems, a deep humanity that enables her to reach out to scholars and laypeople alike. Although the role of women is necessarily a vital part of "The Gospel of Mary" and of this book, as a male reader I felt totally included. The author of "The Gospel of Mary" and Karen King both speak to all of us. It is difficult not to feel proud of Mary (and King) and distressed that so many men have failed to extend the same inclusiveness to women.

Before being lost, "The Gospel of Mary" was circulated for several centuries: hopefully now it and King's "Gospel of Mary of Magdala" will be known for many more. As King translated from this gospel: "Anyone with two ears capable of hearing should listen!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly Readable, 17 Nov 2003
By Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
THE GOSPEL OF MARY OF MAGDALA is a scholarly work written in a very readable style for the general public. The book includes an account of the gospel's discovery in Egypt near the end of the nioneteenth century. It also contains a translation of the gospel and a discussion of its importance during the early development of Christianity. The chapter on the history of Christianity is particularly interesting. An impressive array of notes and lists of terms and sources as well as works cited can be found at the end of the text.

4.0 out of 5 stars profound and uplifting for women!!!!, 12 Jun 2006
By Mr. L. Banton "soulbrother" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found that this was a very profound and esoteric gospel.
Yet presented in a form of great simplicity. A good translation.
However the only flaw, is you can get a little lost in all the refences, which add complexity to the otherwise easy read.
