Mary Of Magdala : Out Of Whom Came Seven Devils

Mary Magdalene. We know from the way she is introduced to us from the Bible record that she had once been possessed by seven devils. This fact, more than any other, seems to be all that we know about her connection to Jesus, the Christ. We know that she appears quite unexpectedly at the cross of Jesus, and then at his tomb. We know that she alone was given the distinction of being the first to see the Christ alive from the dead. We know that Jesus gave her the remarkable charge to announce his resurrection to the world - in absolute accuracy of what He said he would do. We know that she was one of the twenty-five female disciples of Jesus, who sat at his feet and learned from his teachings. Yet, her identity and ministry are as baffling to us as her sudden appearance in the Holy scriptures. Mary of Magdala: Out of Whom Came Seven Devils, finally settles the current debate over Mary Magdalene's true relationship to the Savior. The chapter, "From the Top to the Bottom," describes what the Sanhedrin and the priests of the temple would have seen when, at the point of Jesus' death, the Veil was ripped in two right before their eyes.... And clears up the misconception that the Ark of the Covenant was still existent at the time of Jesus. "Who Is My Mother?" provides much needed clarity as to why the natural brothers of Jesus refused to take possession of His Body after the crucifixion. When Jesus appeared to Mary at the tomb, the Bible says that she mistook Him for the gardener. Lovers of Biblical mystery will gain great insight from the chapter, "Who Rolled Away the Stone?" in answer to the question of why Jesus was not recognizable when He arose from the dead. "Traditions of the Fathers," will once and for all, settle the question of Mary's painful past, and how she came to be known as one of the most enviable of all of Jesus' disciples.
