Abstract
This book of collected essays is one of several recent publications on Mary Magdalene after a hiatus of about a decade (see also Thierry Murcia, Marie appelée la Magdaléenne. entre traditions et histoire: Ier – VIIIe siècle, Collection Héritage méditerranéen [Aix-en-Provence: Presses universitaires de Provence, 2017]; Mary Ann Beavis and Ally Kateusz, eds., Rediscovering the Marys: Maria, Mariamne, Miriam, Scriptural Traces [London: Routledge, 2020]). It originated in a series of conferences, colloquia, lectures, and a graduate course organized by Edmondo F. Lupieri at Loyola University Chicago. The editor describes the scope of the project this way: ‘Without claiming completeness, but as prospectors mapping land—sometimes already explored and worked, and sometimes uncharted, if not undiscovered—we proceeded to plant our stakes on texts and traditions that cover nearly two millennia, ranging from the New Testament to the New Age and beyond’ (p. 2). The book, divided into three parts and comprising 20 chapters, fits the editor’s description. Part I, ‘New Testament through Antiquity’: ‘The Earliest Magdalene: Varied Portrayals in Early Gospel Narratives’ (Edmondo Lupieri); ‘The Apocryphal Magdalene: Expanding and Limiting Her Importance’ (Trent A. Rogers); ‘The Gnostic Magdalene: Mary as Disciple and Revealer’ (Cambry G. Pardee); ‘The Vine and the Net-Caster: Mandaean and Manichaean Transformations of Mary Magdalene’ (Emiliano Fiori); ‘The Patristic Magdalene: Symbol for the Church and Witness to the Resurrection’ (Amanda Kunder); ‘A Whore from Bethany? A Note on Mary Magdalene in Early Non-Christian Sources’ (Bas van Os); ‘The Magdalene Yesterday and Today in the Gospel of Jesus’s Wife’ (David A. Creech). Part II, ‘The Middle Ages through the Modern Age’: ‘The Cult of Mary Magdalene in the Medieval West’ (Theresa Gross-Diaz); ‘The Magdalene of Medieval Hagiography’ (Seth J. A. Alexander); ‘Suspended between Sacred and Profane: The Iconography of Mary Magdalene from Its Origins to the Fifteenth Century’ (Marcello Mignozzi); ‘The Divided Magdalene: the Three Magdalenes Debate (1517–1519): Between Humanism and Enlightenment’ (Jeffrey M Tripp); ‘The Uncontainable Sexuality of a Penitent Woman: The Magdalene between Baroque and Contemporary Art’ (Jayna Hoffacker). Part III, ‘Contemporary Period’: ‘The Magdalene of Contemporary Biblical Scholarship’ (Teresa J. Calpino); ‘From Disciple to Deviant: The Magdalene in Contemporary Popular Film’ (Erica-Lyn Saccucci); ‘The Magdalene of Internet: New Age, Goddess, and Nature Spiritualities’ (James S. Mastaler); ‘Wife, Queen, Goddess: Mary Magdalene and the New Religious-Spiritual Movements (19th–21st Centuries)’ (Carla Ricci); ‘From Galilee to India: There Is Something about Mary (Magdalene)’ (Pierluigi Piovanelli); ‘Why the Church Needs a Prostitutes’ Saint’ (Mary Setterholm); ‘The Marys in the Contemporary Liturgical Practice of the Mary Magdalene (the) Apostle Catholic Community’ (Jane Via); ‘The Legionaries of Mary Magdalene?’ (Ludovica Eugenio).
