Lupieri’s direction produced Mary Magdalene from the New Testament to the New Age and Beyond. While the historical figure of the Magdalene may be lost forever, the construction of her literary images and their transformations and adaptations over the centuries are a lively testimony to human creativity and faith. Different pictures of Mary travelled through time and space, from history to legend and mythology, crossed religious boundaries, going beyond the various Christianities, to become a “sign of contradiction” for many. This book describes a special case of biblical reception history, that of the New Testament figure of a woman whose presence at the side of Jesus has been disturbing for some, but proves to be inspiring for others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures  Abbreviations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Edmondo Lupieri    Part 1: New Testament through Late Antiquity  1 The Earliest Magdalene: Varied Portrayals in Early Gospel Narratives   Edmondo Lupieri    2 The Apocryphal Magdalene: Expanding and Limiting Her Importance   Trent A.
