Truth has infinite patience. It can quietly wait for centuries looking for the right opportunity to reveal itself. More than two thousand years in the making, this is the revolutionary book we have been waiting for - one that can remove the shroud of misunderstanding hanging over the magnificent lives of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, to reveal, for the first time, their true human story. Here are some of the most important questions Avi addresses in this book: Who was Jesus and what was his actual message? - Who was Mary Magdalene, and why is she one of the most despised and vilified women in the Christian world? - If Mary was indeed the mother of Jesus, then why isn't there a single Christian church where she is represented as an older woman? - Was Jesus married? If not, how did he teach at the Jewish synagogues, where unmarried men were considered incomplete? - What are some of the biggest secrets hidden in Da Vinci's paintings that illuminate the human stories of Jesus and Mary Magdalene? Diane Donovan, Senior Editor, Midwest Book Review: The Greatest Love Story Never Told: Liberating Jesus and Mary from Christianity should be a mainstay in any Christian collection not because it explores the usual contentions of Christian history; but because it defies many of these traditional perceptions. Its controversial message won't be for every Christian - but it should be, because within its challenge of Church doctrine and the extreme efforts made over history to rewrite the image of Jesus the man lies an intention to place Jesus in the kind of perspective that makes him even more of a spiritual figurehead: "When it comes to understanding Jesus, the single most important question humanity has failed to ask is, "What did this young man find within him that he was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of sharing it?" If only Christians had asked this one question, without burdening it with a two-thousand-year-old stale biblical answer that he was a "Messenger of God", they would have discovered an entirely different Jesus - one more alive and vibrant than he who hung on the cross." Vibrant, uplifting, and filled with reworkings of traditional Christian history, The Greatest Love Story Never Told indeed walks the dangerous path of revisionary works in challenging some of the most closely-held legends of Christian belief. From Mary Magdalene's real role as the wife of Jesus and one of his apostles to her very human broken-heartedness over his crucifixion and the roots of why he was envisioned as rising from death after three days, The Greatest Love Story Never Told not only adopts a broader perspective in re-interpreting the life of Jesus, but does so with fiery passion. Many of these passages will offer much food for thought in other ways, envisioning possibilities that could have stemmed from events if they were interpreted and presented differently: "...there is no Christianity without Mary and her internalization of Jesus' truth. If Mary Magdalene had been a man, in all likelihood her Christianity would have replaced that of Jesus'." Inherent in the controversial reworking of Christian history, there is enlightenment in the discovery of a living man who was something even more intriguing than the mystical figure the Church created from his life. Christian collections willing to consider this book's revolutionary and outspoken revisionist approach to Christian history will find it sparks not only debate and food for thought, but a different, more revealing appreciation for the path Jesus walked. Libraries appealing to Christian readers and thinkers will find The Greatest Love Story Never Told: Liberating Jesus and Mary from Christianity essential for reading groups interested in different views of how Christian fact and fancy evolved. The book encourages reflection and debate as it forms an unusual perspective on Jesus' life and the way it was taken over and interpreted by the special interests of a Church undertaking to cement its power in the world.
