Mary Magdalene is a key figure in the history of Christianity. After Mary, the mother of Jesus, she remains the most important female saint in her guise both as primary witness to the resurrection and 'apostle of the apostles'. This volume, the first major work on the Magdalene in more than thirty years, focuses on her 'lives' as these have been imagined and reimagined within Christian tradition. Philip Almond expertly disentangles the numerous narratives that have shaped the story of Mary over the past two millennia. Exploring the 'idea' of the Magdalene - her cult, her relics, her legacy - the author deftly peels back complex layers of history and myth to reveal many different Maries, including penitent prostitute; demoniac; miracle worker; wife and lover of Jesus; symbol of the erotic; and New Age goddess. By challenging uniform or homogenised readings of the Magdalene, this absorbing new book brings fascinating insights to its subject.

"This innovative and multidisciplinary collection visits representations and interpretations of Mary Magdalene in the medieval and early modern periods, questioning major scholarly assumptions behind the examination of female saints and their depictions in medieval artworks, literature, and music. Mary Magdalene's many and various characterizations from reformed prostitute to conversion-figure to devotee of Christ to "apostle to the apostles" to spiritual advisor to the Prince of Marseilles to hermit in the desert, to list just a few examples, mean that the many conflicted representations of Mary Magdalene apply to a staggering variety of cultural material, including art, liturgy, music, literature, theology, hagiography, and the historical record. Furthermore, Mary Magdalene has grown into an extremely popular and controversial figure due to recent books and movies concerning her, and due to a groundswell of general speculation concerning her relationship to Jesus: was she his acquaintance, follower, companion, wife, family-member, or lover? This volume employs a broad spectrum of theoretical methodologies in order to present poststructuralist, postcolonial, postmodernist, hagiographic, and feminist readings of the figure of Mary Magdalene, addressing and interrogating her conflicting roles and the precise relationship between her sacred and secular representations." --

La tradition qui voit en Marie-Madeleine une libertine ou une prostituée repentie est tardive. Elle voit le jour à Rome, à la fin du VIe siècle et est aujourd’hui contestée par la plupart des spécialistes. Les chrétiens d’Orient, eux, identifiaient la Magdaléenne à la mère de Jésus. Longtemps considérée, à tort, comme marginale, cette tradition autrefois orthodoxe a connu une diffusion extraordinaire dans les premiers siècles de l’Église avant de sombrer dans l’oubli.Thierry Murcia exhume et passe en revue les nombreux documents jusqu’ici ignorés ou écartés qui témoignent de sa vigueur passée. Il établit que cette antique tradition plonge ses racines dans les évangiles mêmes où les deux figures, toutes deux nommées Marie, n’apparaissent jamais simultanément. À une exception près, semble-t-il : au Calvaire, en Jean 19, 25. Mais un examen attentif de la péricope montre que l’évangéliste ne parle ici, en définitive – lui aussi – que d’un seul et même personnage...Docteur en Histoire (Sciences de l’Antiquité), Thierry Murcia est spécialiste du judaïsme antique et rabbinique et du christianisme des origines. Il est l’auteur de plusieurs articles et d’ouvrages remarqués sur le Jésus historique. Une Mention spéciale lui a été décernée en 2014 pour ses travaux sur Jésus dans la littérature talmudique par le jury du Prix de thèse francophone en études juives. Il a notamment collaboré au volume consacré aux Premiers écrits chrétiens publié dans la Bibliothèque de la Pléiade (2016).
