Biblical Characters

Magdalene by Angela Elwell Hunt
Mary Magdalene - hers is a love story that changed the face of history. Christy-Award winner Angela Hunt’s retelling of the biblical story downplays the prostitution aspect and depicts Mary as a staunch feminist – a shrewd advisor and helpmate, no more. And she is an interesting woman, though more interesting than Mary, in the end, may be the Roman soldier Atticus, a doubting enemy brought into the fold. There are many versions of the story of Mary Magdalene and this one by Angela Hunt is a well crafted, solid presentation.
