The Magdalene Revolution: The Return of the Sacred Feminine and the Birth of Radical Equality -- Andrew Harvey, Hardcover

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 this new book, 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.

The Magdalene Revolution will:

• 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
• Propose 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
• Illuminate 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 center is being born, because it completes and activates the full range of Christ consciousness." In Mary Magdalene's great spirit of healing and transfiguration, this book offers us this new human story--and a path to transform not only ourselves, but our world.
