Gospel of Mary

The Gospel of Mary is an early Christian text, likely from the second century, that presents Mary Magdalene as a prominent disciple and spiritual leader. It emphasizes inner knowledge, personal spiritual growth, and understanding Jesus’ teachings beyond traditional authority. The text highlights Mary’s role in receiving revelations and her quest for deeper insight, challenging some mainstream ideas about authority in early Christianity. While not part of the official Bible, it offers a perspective on early Christian diversity and the importance of personal spiritual experience.
