The Woman Jesus Loved

Mary Magdalene in the Nag Hammadi Library and Related Documents

by Antti Marjanen

A scholarly study of how Mary Magdalene is portrayed in Gnostic and related early Christian texts, including the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Philip and the Pistis Sophia. It pays close attention to the recurring conflict between Mary and Peter and what it reveals about early debates over women's authority.
