Long description
In an era that has reclaimed many aspects of the feminine Margaret Starbird's THE WOMAN WITH THE ALABASTER JAR stood out as a courageous exploration of the scorned and repudiated feminine in the Western religious tradition. But espousing the marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene created a personal crisis for this catholic scholar. In THE GODDESS IN THE GOSPELS the author tells how she was guided in her personal search and her ever-deepening study of the New Testament and gematria - number coding of the Greek Alphabet - by an incredible series of synchronicities. It was the mirroring of inner and outer worlds that revealed the Sacred Marriage of male and female - the hieros gamous - and led to her own personal redemption.
Review
A truly moving account of the author's soul-searching quest for the Lost Bride of Christendom. In a wondrous journey of enlightenment, we step beyond the bounds of contrived 'churchianity' to discover the consummate and abiding presence of the Holy Grail--the sacred temple of the eternal feminine.
