Mary Magdalene was real. Her life challenges, struggles, and joys were real. Her life was truly transformed by Jesus. Therefore, it must be possible to \u201cunearth\u201d pieces of what was real by digging through the layers of two thousand years of reflection about her. In the process of discovery, may we \u201cunveil the mystery\u201d that Mary Magdalene embodies, and glean treasures for our own life that can inspire purpose and meaning. Mary Magdalene: Insights from Ancient Magdala<\/a><\/strong> by Jennifer Ristine, is the culmination of her service at the recently excavated site of Magdala in the Holy Land since 2014. She shares her research, dialogue, and answers to questions from countless visitors to Magdala. Through archaeological discoveries, historical texts, scriptural sources, and a survey of traditions, she offers a mosaic-like representation of the figure and importance of Mary Magdalene.<\/p>\n
