Summary: Reclaiming the Feminine in the Divine
Comment: I have read all of this author's book, which are greatly research and intimately presented. This is her greatest work so far, and in stating the obvious ~ the true foundation and inception of Christianity ~ she has taken a step in faith as she was raised with certain dogmas, beliefs and attitudes.
This book confirms what I have long known to be the truth and seeing it so concisely presented by such an accomplished theologian is wonderful.
The writer's love for the Magdalene is apparent in all her works, and raising her back to her appropriate place, seems to be her 'lifes work'. This book, as well as all Mrs. Starbirds others, touch the sacred feminine within me and encourage me to once again reconnect with our lost Goddess.
After I read this book, I reread her other works, including the one on Tarot Trumps...great research, smooth delivery style, what will she come up with next~!

Summary: Starbird's best book so far
Comment: As the curator of Magdalene.org, I read many books about Mary Magdalene. I've been aquainted with Margaret Starbird's books since her first title, "The Woman With The Alabaster Jar," but have had the impression that, more than anything, her writing expressed a very personal journey. That changes with her most recent book, however, in which she does a wonderful job of reminding the general reader of the origins of Christianity, the environment in which it developed, and how it's entirely possible that the initial message has been all but lost.
By far, the best parts of the book are the sections on history, but the gematria work presented is nothing to take lightly. In the same tradition of John Michell's "Dimensions of Paradise" and David Fideler's "Jesus Christ Sun of God," (both of which are referenced in this book), Starbird carefully applies the rules of Greek gematria to uncover coded messages in the New Testament. This is NOT "The Bible Code," which is based on a completely inappropriate system; this is a historically accurate use of number within words and phrases.
The biggest question about the gematria is this: was it INTENTIONALLY included in the words and phrases mentioned? Or is it all a big coincidence? Starbird believes that the numbers are intentional, and I have to agree that there appears to be a higher than usual degree of connection in the passages that match up. Regardless of the answer, there is more than enough material here to provide food for meditation and examination of what Christiantiy *should* be about.

Summary: The Bride of Yahweh/Christ
Comment: How does one live sequestered in public? Margaret Starbird, a true Theologian, has the answer: Christianity, the soul as Bride of the Universal.
