The Rediscovery of The Gospel of Mary

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene is one of the early Christian texts discovered in the 19th and 20th centuries that sheds light on alternative perspectives within early Christianity. It was found as part of the Berlin Codex in 1896, a Coptic manuscript containing several Gnostic texts. The gospel itself is attributed to Mary Magdalene, one of Yeshua’s closest disciples, who plays a pivotal role in conveying his teachings. However, parts of the manuscript are missing, leaving the text fragmented and incomplete. In total, The Gospel of Mary has only about eight surviving pages, making up chapters 4 through 9, while the beginning and parts of the middle are lost.
