According to Mary Magdalene (Swedish: Enligt Maria Magdalena, 1997)[1] is a novel by the Swedish novelist Marianne Fredriksson. It attempts to portray the life of the biblical figure of Mary Magdalene as told by herself. The author claims to have based the book on Gnostic manuscripts, such as the Gospel of Mary, that were discovered in recent times.[citation needed] The English version was published 1999.[2]

Plot introduction

The story offers a feminist perspective on the person of Christ and on the beginnings of the Christian Church.[3] Since it presents Jesus as merely a human being and deviates from the orthodox biblical portrayal of the Son of Man, the novel was severely criticised by mainstream Christians.[citation needed]
