Summary

Unveiling Mary Magdalene opens with the fictional journey of Mary Margaret Delaney, a madwoman adrift in contemporary Chicago, desperate for someone to save her from herself. Her moving story, closely paralleling the biblical account, is followed by a thorough, verse-by-verse study of the first-century Mary Magdalene and her life-changing encounters with the Christ.
