The Gospel of Mary

Presenter: Dr. Hal Taussig

The Gospel of Mary is a document whose attractiveness is still on the rise since its discovery about 120 years ago.  This discussion focuses directly on the character of the gospel and whether it makes a difference for the principle challenges and opportunities of our day.  How does it engage readers spiritually?  Does this ancient document’s very explicit and poignant participation in current gender and sexuality discussions make a difference?  How does the gospel compare to biblical texts in contemporary relevance?  Participants discuss their own opinions about whether the Gospel of Mary matters. Listeners might be interested in reading December’s Bible and Beyond post, Seven Stunning Gifts from the Gospel of Mary.  You can find the text for the session here: Mary of Magdala; Gospels.net; Early Christian Writings.
