Title: This is New Age Spirituality, not Christianity
Product review: I was hoping for insights into the Magdalene's role in the early church. What I got was a bunch of New Age backwash which regards Arthur Pendragon, and Camalot, as historical truth, claims the Garden of Eden was situated on a temperate lost continent seated at the North Pole. Very little Christian theology appears here. The authors claim that the Lord's Prayer as described in the Gospel of Mark has ties to Egyptian Osiris liturgy, yet give no textual evidence to back up this claim. Their basic knowledge of the history of Christianity is even flawed as they attribute Acts of the Apostles to St. John the Devine, when Acts is clearly a continuation of the Gospel of Luke.I almost went with one star, but occasionally something they write has the flavor of truth, before they go off on another tangent about the chakras of Mother Earth.There is text of the Gospel of Mary Magdalene in the book, but given what's around it I'm planning on getting another source.
