"Mary Magdalene is ‘hot' these days. Of all the many books coming
off the press about her, this is one of the most solid, at the same
time creative and scholarly. An excellent summery of the most
important medieval legends about Mary Magdalene; a superb analysis
of the empty tomb traditions. The structure of the book is well
conceived. Schaberg has prepared the foundations for her argument
with impeccable academic analysis. Her bold new interpretation will
need to be tried and seasoned. Even for those who will eventually
not accept it, there is much harvest to be gleaned in these pages.
Who needs the DaVinci Code?" -Carolyn Osiek, Brite Divinity School,
Biblical Theology Bulletin, 2004

"In her groundbreaking work on Mary Magdalene, Jane Schaberg offers
scholars of Bible and church history a view of Mary Magdalene that
flows from careful, critical, and provocative research aimed at
uncovering the nobility of a woman whose legendary history has all
too often marred the truth of her beauty... Schaberg has given
students, scholars, and an educated public a gem that will define
Christianity and change the course of legend for years to come."-

"Read this worthy sequel to The Illegitimacy of Jesus for an
exhilarating look at what imaginative reconstructions do to
challenge theological givens. Written in partnership with Virginia
Woolf, Jane Schaberg trains her scholarly eye on the woman who gave
voice to Jesus' resurrection." -WATERwheel, 2005
