The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is a Gnostic text discovered in Egypt in 1896, which provides a unique perspective on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The text is attributed to Mary Magdalene, one of Jesus’ closest followers and often referred to as the “Apostle to the Apostles.” While not considered part of the canonical New Testament, the Gospel of Mary Magdalene is an important apocryphal text that sheds light on early Christian theology and the role of women in the early church.
