Mary Who? Searching for the Historical Mary Magdalene

Her name wasn't Mary Magdalene, she wasn't born in Magdala, and she wasn't a prostitute. She's been mistaken for a sinner, an adulteress, and the woman at the well. Yet she was none of these. Apart from Jesus, she is the most famous person in the New Testament, yet her name appears a mere 13 times, and she speaks only twice. Who was she? Dr. James Gardner provides a detailed and comprehensive look at Mary called Magdalene, addressing such issues as her birth place, her marital status, her role in the early church, and her life after the crucifixion.
