 Christianity according to a woman August 5, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I read this book a few months ago; my mother sent it to me from Sweden, as she always does with Marianne Fredriksson's new books. This book gives a new perspective to Christianity; told by a heroine who loves and trusts no matter what. It also uncovers the dangers of relaying on words, rather than feellings. In reading Mary Magdalene it is easy to beleive that men of the church have hid the greater meaning in Jesus' teachings from us. In the book Jesus' words all make sence and yet fit badly with what we are tought from the bible. Marianne Fredriksson's books have a mystical and magical sence of revealing an alternative truth; she will never thrust it upon you, but will give you another (or several) new ways of viewing life and love. This is not her best book, but that does not say a lot!!! Try Simon's family and Hanna's daughters as well. If you read in Swedish you must read 'Den som vandrar om natten....'which is also set in biblical time and absolutely wonderful.

Mariannes books always have at least one powerful,wise woman as a frontfigure. In "Maria Magdalena" it happens to be Jesus girlfriend. Not a whore and not a saint. A woman. It's a fantastic story about how it might have been. She writes like it's a fairytale. In the end you love Jesus and you love Maria Magdalena.
