Free St. Mary Magdalene: The Gnostic Tradition Of The Holy Bride Ebooks Online
In the Gospels of the Bible there are a few comments about Mary Magdalene here and there. But in the Gnostic scriptures that have been discovered, there are tantalizing hints that both her relationship to Jesus and her role among Jesus' disciples may have been profoundly important. Among several schools of Gnostic Christianity, Mary plays an essential role in the revelation of the gospel. Here, for the first time in print, is a Sophian Gospel of St. Mary Magdalene. No secret oral tradition as extensive as this has ever been recorded, and none has ever presented a Gnostic view of Mary Magdalene as she is portrayed in this groundbreaking work-as a powerful holy woman, the innermost disciple and beloved wife of Jesus, and a Christed woman who is coequal with Jesus in the Christ revelation.

Much attention has been focused on Mary Magdalene in recent years, but what do we really know and understand about the woman who has been labelled a whore?In his latest book, `St Mary Magdalene: The Gnostic Tradition of the Holy Bride,' Tau Malachi reveals her as the soul mate of Jesus. She is his closest disciple, wife and consort, co-equal and co-enlightened with him and the co-preacher of the Gospel.The author draws a picture of a man and woman full of grace and beauty. Mary is elegant and Jesus is playful. Together, they are one soul united, destined to change the people of the world and their beliefs about spiritual truths.The book contains a glossary at the back and notes at the end of each chapter, so unfamiliar terms and concepts are clearly defined and easy to locate. A suggested reading list is also included for those who want to learn more about Gnosticism and Mary Magdalene. This practical aspect of the book enhances the spiritual and mystical revelations about the Holy Bride and her wisdom sayings.These profound words, included as a gospel of 250 verses, are not to be perused lightly. I found myself returning to them, reflecting on each individually and marvelling at the whole. I have a feeling this book will not sit on a shelf and be ignored. I will find moments in my life where I will want to connect with Mary and I will turn to her words for comfort and strength. There is a sense of truth and divine knowledge within this book that come from a loftier soul than my own.And yet Mary's humanity is clearly evident. Malachi strikes a balance between the dejected woman and the enlightened spirit in his portrayal of her.
