Week 9 – Canonization and Marginalization – Karen L. King (Sugirtharajah)

I was unaware that  a “Gospel of Mary” existed until I read this discourse, but now I can see why it was not included in the Biblical canon.  After reading the text online, it surprises me that others think it provides an authoritative resource  for advocating women’s leadership.  Accusing patriarchal exegetes of wanting to discredit Mary of Magdala does not ring true.
