13 Favorite Books About Mary Magdalene

Books about Mary Magdalene in my shelf

This is a picture of one of my shelves. I have only a few books here in New York since most of my books were shipped to my house in Puerto Rico some years ago. Each time I go back, I bring with me one of the books about Mary Magdalene in order to have it with me in my new studio.

I would like to share the titles of the books I love and have carried back with me so far. The last 3 are still in Puerto Rico, not because I love them less. And I am also sharing some titles in my digital shelf.

Reading is how I learn and discover. I treasure books and never want to let them go. And reading is how I started my journey with Mary Magdalene.

These books about Mary Magdalene inspired my first paintings of her, and guided me in learning beyond the traditional Bible stories and interpretations. I am grateful to these authors for their gifts to the world.

As this blog progresses, I will write about each of these books and invite you to leave your own reviews and impressions in the comments or send them to be published here.
