Mary Magdalene: A Woman of Many Faces

The figure of Mary Magdalene has captured the imagination for centuries. Her identity has been the subject of discussion and countless questions. Was she a whore or was she a lover, even the wife of Christ? Did she have children with him, as is often claimed today? Was she the 'apostle of the apostles'?
Who was Mary Magdalene and who is she today? Using these two questions, Bram Rossano sketches a complete picture of the identity of Mary Magdalene. The first question searches for the historical person who lived at the beginning of our era. The second question studies Mary Magdalene as a mythical character who constantly acquires new meanings in the course of history. A journey through time, along the traces she has left for 2000 years: along poems and paintings, from Palestine to Ireland and from palaces to brothels.
BRAM ROSSANO studied Germanic languages ​​and obtained his doctorate with a thesis on Mary Magdalene. With a critical eye, he consulted numerous sources for his search for Mary Magdalene. His research puts an end to the many pseudoscientific studies on her, which are largely based on speculation.
