    <![CDATA[Once, there were four Gospels &#8212; by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. <br/><br/>Now there is a fifth &#8212; the Gospel according to Mary Magdalene.<br/><br/>In the parched soil of Provençe, a fifth gospel has been discovered. It is Mary Magdalene&#8217;s account of the teachings of Jesus, and her relationship with him. It is a book of revelation, for it unveils a new Christianity, one that embraces the female equally with the male and acknowledges and celebrates women&#8217;s spirituality. It is also a passionate story of love and search, of separation and rebirth, centred on Mary as the wellspring of womanhood.<br/><br/><strong>The Secret Gospel of Mary Magdalene</strong> is a brilliant and moving vision that is also startlingly modern in its conclusions.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[It's not often I can't finish a book but this one just didn't grab me at all.  I thought it might be interesting but it wasn't.  A lot of people have said it's controversial and passionate but for me it just didn't show me anything new.
