Good for you, Rap. I applaud your choice in reading material most highly.

I've not read the Gospel of the Magdalen, but I'd sure like to. I'll look around for it. I have read some material which strongly suggests that Mary Magdalen was no prostitute, and in fact was Jesus' perfectly legal and legitimate wife, accompanying him on his travels...and has not been depicted as such in the existing Gospels for various male-oriented political reasons of the time. This, of course, meets with an outraged reaction in a lot of Christian quarters (though not all), but it seems likelier to me than not, all things considered.

However, I doubt we'll ever know for sure. Too much time has elapsed. We can only wonder.
