by Andrew Harvey (Author)
In a radically fresh reading of Mary Magdalene's story, a renowned scholar of mystical traditions sheds new light on the Divine Feminine as a force for change and healing.
For more than 20 years, Andrew Harvey has trained his fine scholar's eye on sacred texts and mystical truths to illuminate the message of inspired activism that they hold. Today, we need this message more urgently than ever. In The Magdalene Revolution, Andrew takes a fresh, impassioned look at the story of Mary Magdalene and Jesus to distill its meaning for our world and show us how to embody this truth in our own lives. On this transformative journey, Andrew invites you to:- Examine how Mary Magdalene is presented in the New Testament--sometimes splendidly, but also absurdly and even dangerously
- Explore the truths revealed about her in texts such as the Gospel of Mary and other Gnostic gospels
- Undertake a radical reclamation of the Divine Feminine by recognizing Mary Magdalene as the bride to Jesus's bridegroom--a female and co-equal Christ in her own right
- Experience a new paradigm of fully embodied divine and human love that each of us can live out in our daily lives
"We are in the time of the Second Coming," Andrew writes. "The old story is dying, and a new story with Mary Magdalene's and Jesus's love at the radiating center will be born." In Mary Magdalene's great spirit of healing and transfiguration, this book offers you this new human story--together with sacred practices that will allow you not only to integrate its contents into your life, but to begin your own transformation.
