Mary Magdalene is one of the most prominent women in the New Testament, yet also one of the most misrepresented. A careful reading of Scripture, combined with early Christian texts, shows a woman of faith, courage, and spiritual depth—far removed from the myths later attached to her name.

If you condemn it you are doomed f...
