Mary Magdalen: The Most Provocative Woman in the Gospels

An evening with novelist and interfaith minister Elizabeth Cunningham

Mary Magdalen. She’s always been controversial, and she’s always carried a charge as the woman who was closer to Jesus than any other except his mother. She has been called a demoniac, a prostitute, a disciple, a lover, a secret bride, the true holy grail. She is a canonized saint and some associate her with the Black Madonnas found all over Europe. Yet after two millennia of veneration and speculation, what do we really know?

Author of  The Maeve Chronicles, Elizabeth Cunningham has spent years researching Mary Magdalen and the world of the first century CE. She wanted solid historical ground for her imaginative leap. Her Mary Magdalen is Maeve, a feisty, outspoken Celt and no man’s disciple, whose adventures take her from the British Isles through the heart of the Roman Empire to the terrain of the Gospels and her ultimate—and passionate—encounter with her beloved. 

Join the author for an evening of imaginative, historic, and theological insight into the life and character of this enigmatic woman who has re-emerged as a key archetypal figure for our times.
