For the millions of readers fascinated by Dan Brown's revelations about Mary Magdalen in The Da Vinci Code, here, at last, is their chance to meet the Gospel's most provocative woman face to face-on her own terms.

Make way for a new Magdalen. Born on a Celtic isle to eight warrior-witch mothers, Maeve is raised to be as brave as any hero. In her stubborn, enchanting voice, she recounts her perilous quest for the young man, Esus, whose life she once saved from druid sacrifice. Captured and sold to a Roman Madam, Maeve is sustained by a fierce sense of identity, compassion for her sister whores, and her unquenchable love. When she wins her freedom and finds her lost lover, a stormy life begins for both as we follow the Passion story through the eyes of Jesus's partner. By turns feisty and funny, outrageous and tender, this Celtic Mary Magdalen challenges all stereotypes, both old and New Age, and brings us to transforming encounter with the divine feminine made flesh.

Assessment Epithetical Books The Passion of Mary Magdalen (Maeve Chronicles #2)

The whole Maeve Chronicles series is superlative, highly recommended, one of my favorites. I would recommend it for fans of strong women, Celtic fantasy, Biblical reinterpretation, myth and magic, Goddess fiction, the Mists of Avalon. In a nutshell, Mary Magdalen is re-visioned as a Celtic ex-pat and Jesus' wife, a magical and strong and sometimes foolish woman, and her tale spans the course of four well-researched and well-written books. Written with cheek and humor and glory and beauty, all at

I listened to the Audio book. I am mourning the end of this book. The actress reading the book was Mary Magdalena. She was the accent that belongs with the character. The story is told in first person and she is talking to the reader in modern time about life back then. So she uses phrases with comments saying "well what he really said doesn't translate well into modern English but it's equivalent is ______."It shows a possible back story for the woman who knew Jesus possibly in a more the

Celtic spirituality, temple prostitution, and an enlightened view on Jesus life - the Passion of Mary Magdalen will take you for a fantastic, visionary ride. Fantastic indeed, the Passion of Mary Magdalen is bold, historical fantasy and requires an equally bold leap of faith. This applies to the narrative style too. The characters in the story act and talk like modern people and the author likes to intrude. My favorite intrusion: Papal bulls in a china shop. What was Elizabeth thinking? She lets

Against my better judgement: 4 stars, because (a) she did her homework and (b) was wildly imaginative. The tone is romance-novel with tongue-in-cheek (or not) and her sentences are often clichés. I just finished Mary Karrs Lit, which is so beautifully written that I kept reading sentences aloud to anyone who would listen. In the first 200 pages of The Passion of Mary Magdalen, I read aloud sentences because they were so bad. And yet. Her imagined Mary Magdalene is at her best taking on well

I love this book! It is seriously controversial. It is a huge read. I actually have a copy signed by the author!

This is the second book in a series where Mary Magdalen is actually a Celtic druid student turned slave turned prostitute turned priestess named Maeve, who is also Jesus's soulmate. Yeah. I'M SURE THIS HAS TOTALLY SOLD YOU ON THIS BOOK, AMIRITE? I'll try again: this book is more or less Kushiel's Dart meets Lamb: the Gospel According to Christ's Childhood Pal Biff, only with less BDSM and less laugh out loud funny. I haven't read the first book in the series where I guess Jesus and Maeve meet

I'll state up front this is not a book for everyone; and by that I mean anyone who is uncomfortable with an author taking liberties with biblical scripture might dislike what Elizabeth Cunningham has written strictly on principle. But for those who can take this for what it is - a brilliantly written novel told from the perspective of a fantastic female protagonist - I think it's an absolute gem. I remember when I first plucked it off a shelf with some trepidation at the book store. I had no
