This book demonstrates that the present text has followed a long and tortuous journey from Jewish Gnosticism to Christian Gnosticism and into Roman Christianity. The result is a surprising re-reading both of the earlier versions of the text and the editing done by the Roman Christians. It throws light on a different Jesus to the canonical one, a different Mother, a different Sister Mary and a different Mary Magdalene who was called the Beloved Disciple in the gospel text. 'This book is a bold, brilliant unearthing of the religious roots of the Gospel of John' - Dr Norman Habel, Editor of 'The Earth Bible' Project. 'Robert Crotty applies a lifetime of acclaimed scholarship to the historical and literary foundations of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. His exciting insights into the Gnostic foundations of the Gospel of John are ground-breaking and will lead the way in New Testament scholarship' - Dr Lorraine Parkinson, Vice-President of the Progressive Christian Network of Victoria.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Lovell Publishing Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45549702348951,"sku":"9781863551595","price":4587.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781863551595.webp?v=1767179811","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/jesus-his-mother-her-sister-mary-and-mary-magdalene-the-gnostic-background-to-the-gospel-of-john-9781863551595","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
