Written early in the second century CE, it disappeared for over fifteen hundred years until a single, fragmentary copy in Coptic translation came to light in the late nineteenth century. Although details of the discovery itself are obscure, we do know that the fifth-century manuscript in which it was inscribed was purchased in Cairo by Carl Reinhardt and brought to Berlin in l Two additional fragments in Greek have come to light in the twentieth century.
Yet still no complete copy of the Gospel of Mary is known. Fewer than eight pages of the ancient papyrus text survive, which means that about half of the Gospel of Mary is lost to us, perhaps forever.
Yet these scant pages provide an intriguing glimpse into a kind of Christianity lost for almost fifteen hundred years. This astonishingly brief narrative presents a radical interpretation of Jesus' teachings as a path to inner spiritual knowledge; it rejects his suffering and death gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download the path to eternal life; it exposes the erroneous view that Mary of Magdala was a prostitute for what it isa piece of theological fiction; it presents the most straightforward and gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download argument in any early Christian writing for the legitimacy of women's leadership; it offers a sharp critique of illegitimate power and a Utopian vision of.
spiritual perfection; it challenges our rather romantic views about the harmony and unanimity of the first Christians; and it asks us to rethink the basis for church authority. All written in the name of a woman. Gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download story of the Gospel of Mary is a simple one.
Since the first six pages are lost, the gospel opens in the middle of a scene portraying a discussion between the Savior and his disciples set after the resurrection, gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download.
The Savior is answering their questions about the end gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download the material world and the nature of sin. He teaches them that at present all things, whether material or spiritual, are interwoven with each other.
In the end, that will not be so. Each nature will return to its own root, its own original state and gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download. But meanwhile, the nature of sin is tied to the nature of life in this mixed world. People sin because they do not recognize their own spiritual nature and, instead, love the lower nature that deceives them and leads to disease and death.
Salvation is achieved by discovering within oneself the true spiritual nature of humanity and overcoming the deceptive entrap ments of the bodily passions and the world. The Savior concludes this teaching with a warning against those who would delude the disciples into following some heroic leader or a set of rules and laws. Instead they are to seek the child of true Humanity within themselves and gain inward peace.
After commissioning them to go forth and preach the gospel, the Savior departs. But the disciples do not go out joyfully to preach the gospel; instead controversy erupts. All the disciples except Mary have failed to comprehend the Savior's teaching. Rather than seek peace witliin, they are distraught, frightened that if they follow his commission to preach the gospel, they might share his agonizing fate.
Mary steps in and comforts them and, at Peter's request, relates teaching unknown to them that she had received from the Savior in a vision. The Savior had explained to her the nature of prophecy and the rise of the soul to its final rest, describing how to win the battle against the wicked, illegitimate Powers that seek to keep the soul entrapped in the world and ignorant of its true spiritual nature.
But as she finishes her account, two of the disciples quite unexpectedly challenge her. Andrew objects that her teaching is strange and he refuses to believe that it came from the Savior. Peter goes further, denying that Jesus would ever have given this kind of advanced teaching to a woman, or that Jesus could possibly have preferred her to them.
Apparently when he asked her to speak, Peter had not expected such elevated teaching, and now he questions her character. implying that she has lied about having received special teaching in order to increase her stature among the disciples. Severely taken aback, Mary begins to cry at Peter's accusation. Levi comes quickly to her defense, pointing out to Peter that he is a notorious hothead and now he is treating Mary as though she were the enemy. We should be ashamed of ourselves, he admonishes them all; instead of arguing among ourselves, gospel of mary magdalene pdf free download, we should go out and preach the gospel as the Savior commanded us.
The story ends here, but the controversy is far from resolved. Andrew and Peter at least, and likely the other fearful disciples as well, have not understood the Savior's teaching and are offended by Jesus' apparent preference of a woman over them. Their limited understanding and false pride make it impossible for them to comprehend the truth of the Savior's teaching. The reader must both wonder and worry what kind of gospel such proud and ignorant disciples will preach. How are we to understand this story?
It is at once reminiscent of the New Testament gospels and yet clearly different from them.
