English Summary/英文概要： A dramatic, thought-provoking portrait of one of the most compelling figures in early Christianity which explores two thousand years of history, art, and literature to provide a close-up look at Mary Magdalen and her significance in religious and cultural thought.

Praise for Mary Magdalen
‘A sober and thoroughly researched cultural history packed with delights. It takes us on a journey through the four Gospels, the way that the early Fathers of the Church developed views of Jesus’s teaching, the history of iconography, the narratives of medieval and Renaissance poems and plays, the recently discovered and newly translated Gnostic gospels of Nag Hammadi, Victorian photographic pornography and much more.’ Michele Roberts, Independent on Sunday
‘The strengths of Mary Magdalen are real and obvious. It was a bold sweep. It takes an icon of faith and sexuality and trails it through ideas and hypocrisies, through travesties and beautiful representations on canvas and in bronze.’ Eavan Boland, Observer
‘Haskins displays some outstanding scholarship and she fully sustains her case that the fiery woman-hatred of the Church Fathers is evidence of pathology and sickness of mind. She is very good at revealing the countervailing currents in the fortune of Mary Madgalen.’ Frank McLynn, Glasgow Herald
‘A sparky and erudite book, packed with information and written with passion.’ Julia O’Faolain, Times Literary Supplement
