The Gospels of Mary : The Secret Tradition of Mary Magdalene, the Companion of Jesus, by Marvin Meyer, HC from HarperCollins, ISBN 0060727918. The world's foremost scholar on the Nag Hammadi scrolls translates and introduces the Gnostic and New Testament texts that together reveal the long-suppressed story and significance of Mary Magdalene. Meyer includes new translations of the Gospels of Mary, Thomas, Philip and related texts, supported by the analysis of Magdalene expert Esther de Boer, that show Mary to be not only the disciple closest to Jesus in his lifetime, but a formidable presence in the formative early days of Christianity.
