Mary Magdalene Explained: Bible Truth, Gnostic Texts, and the Woman Behind the Myth

Mary Magdalene stands at the center of Christianity’s most important morning, the dawn of the resurrection, yet her story has been blurred for centuries by rumor, conflation, and culture war.

In this long form documentary style video, I explore who Mary Magdalene is in the canonical Christian Bible, how the Gospels describe her healing, discipleship, and first witness testimony, and why later traditions reshaped her identity. Then we step into early Christian writings outside the New Testament, including texts often labeled Gnostic, such as the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Philip, and Pistis Sophia, to understand how Mary became a symbol of revelation, spiritual authority, and contested voice in the early Church.

This is not a sensational take. It is a grounded, compassionate exploration of the sources, what historians can and cannot claim, and what Mary Magdalene can still teach us about grief, fidelity, courage, and love that stays.

If you are interested in Mary Magdalene’s real biblical role, early Christianity, lost gospels, Gnostic texts, women in the Jesus movement, and how to hold faith and history together without fear, this is for you.
