Mary Magdalene: A Visual History by Diane Apostolos-Cappadona, Diane Apostolos-Cappadona

3.0

*ARC exchanged for an honest review via NetGalley* This is not a book I ever ever usually pick up, but the cover and premise of using art to outline a supposed history was intriguing to me and I am rather glad I read this. I have always been fascinated with theology and this book gives a great analysis of Magdalene’s mythology and how it pertains to modern day social issues regarding women and gender. I can’t say I found it incredibly compelling and this is probably simply because I am not the right audience for this kind of book, as it delves into scriptures for a religion I do not practice. However, I am still able to appreciate what this book is able to accomplish.
