Description
Mary Magdalene's confessions reveal a sensual world of love and betrayal, magic and mystery, hidden within the Gospels. This reimagining of the Gospels roots Mary Magdalene and Jesus in the lush ecology and complex spiritual culture of Second Temple Period Judea and Galilee under Roman rule. The story unfolds as Leukas, a Christian convert, ventures into the wilds of Gaul to receive the hidden teachings from Mary Magdalene before she dies. He discovers an epic love story between an educated Jewish woman overwhelmed by her mysterious spiritual powers and a sensual magician devoted to the wisdom of the earth. Miriam's journey, from her childhood as a member of a wealthy Jewish family to her struggles with spiritual curiosity and intellectual aspirations, drives her to combat the violence of Empire and the sexism of her own culture. Her destiny collides with a mischievous rabbi who will change her and the world forever.
