Helpful Score: 5

This was an amazing book. I expected it to be among the likes of the DaVinci Code, and some parts were. But it was a very deep and moving novel, of an author who discovers the Magdalene Scrolls and explores the life of Mary Magdalene and her life with Jesus. It gave incredible insights as to what her life was like. The theories explained within were impressive, and I very much enjoyed how the author used her own experiences and her research to create a story of color and richness.
I never imagined there were so many societies, secret and not, theories, ideas and beliefs out there regarding Jesus Christ and his life, his family and his following.
It brought new insights to me, and I'll carry with me the most truthful quote I have read in a very, very long time. "History is not what happened. History is what was written down."
