Was she the wife of Jesus, his complete initiate, a Goddess or a priestess? Did the Church dramatically alter her image to deny her importance? These questions have inspired representations of her in art, film and literature, from Caravaggio to \u003ci\u003eThe Last Temptation of Christ\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Da Vinci Code.\u003c\/i\u003e The Mary Magdalene Cover-Up is the first book to bring the original sources that have informed our current day view of Mary to a wider audience. Esther de Boer has brought together an impressive array of texts from the first century, when Mary Magdalene was alive, to the sixth century, when her image as a penitent sinner was invented. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach text is accompanied by an informed and lively commentary by the author placing it in its historical context.
