The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle by Karen L. King
Essential reading. This is the definitive scholarly translation and commentary on the Gospel of Mary. King unpacks the text with historical and theological insight, showing how Mary was positioned as a leader in early Christianity.
The Gospels of Mary: The Secret Tradition of Mary Magdalene, the Companion of Jesus by Karen L. King and Marvin Meyer
Includes multiple early Christian texts (Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Philip, etc.) with commentary that’s more accessible than dense academic papers but still grounded in scholarship.

Can you recommend some good scholarly books on Mary Magdalene, please? I bought the Bourgeault one, on your recommendation. Thanks!

Awesome! Thank you so much. And thanks for your excellent posts on the subject.
Once is wonderful. For the greedy with amnesiac brain cells a second round is better (& sometimes absolutely necessary)
