From the Author
Mary "the Magdalene" was the "Goddess" in the Gospels
In "The Goddess in the Gospels" I have used the story of my own faith journey as a vessel for a publication of the sacred numbers that prove irrevocable that Mary Magdalene was understood to be the "Goddess" in the Christian mythology. The authors of the New Testament set their phrases to number by "gematria," a system of symbolic numbers widely practiced among both Greek and Hebrew scholars in the Hellenistic period. These numbers are still encoded in the Greek phrases of the Gospels. This book relates the story of my own gradual conversion from a very orthodox Roman Catholic to one who now believes that the "Sacred Marriage," embodied in Christ and Mary Magdalene, was once at the heart of Christianity. The "sacred numbers" in the Gospels themselves convinced me beyond doubt that this was the faith of the early Church. This book reclaims the Bride of Jesus and restores her to the Christianity, providing a celestial model of true partnership at the threshold of the new millennium--MM!

This work is essential reading.
Margaret Starbird is a preeminent Theologian and scholar of the New Testament and related literature and a leader of American and international culture. Her interest is spiritual rather than selfish and we benefit warmly from her insistence, from Scripture, that the Inseparable Other, the Feminine Principle, is an aspect of Divinity's play with humanity and the world. This Theologian has set a standard for discourse of all natures during the Third Christian Millennium. We owe her "Thanks" and "Well Done."
