Summary:

Prostitute, apostle, evangelist-the conversion of Mary Magdalene from sinner to saint is one of the Christianity's most compelling stories. Less appreciated is the critical role the Magdalene played in remaking modern Christianity. Margaret Arnold shows that the Magdalene inspired devotees eager to find new ways to relate to God and the Church.
