The Apostle to the Apostles: A Novel of Mary Magdalene

di Walker Robert (Autore)

Robert Walker, 2025

You know the story of Christ. But you don't know the story of the woman who held it together. In the bustling, brutal first-century fishing town of Magdala, Mary is not a sinner—she is a survivor. A savvy merchant and calculating widow, she has inherited a fleet, a business empire, and a world of debt. Her mind is her greatest weapon, turning chaos into cold, hard logic. But when she encounters a radical rabbi who speaks in riddles and offers miracles she can't account for, her meticulously ordered life shatters. He doesn't offer Mary salvation; he offers her a partnership, recognizing in her the intellect and discipline the men around him lack. She becomes his quartermaster, his most trusted strategist, and the sole heir to his most dangerous, secret teachings—that the "Kingdom" is not a revolution of thrones, but a transformation of consciousness itself. When the men around Jesus falter, Mary is the only one left standing: She funds the mission when the apostles starve. She outmaneuvers Roman tax collectors when the men talk of prophecy. She witnesses the Resurrection when Peter and the others are cowering in fear. But the price of truth is steep. When Jesus is gone, Mary finds herself thrust into the heart of a conflict she never expected: a battle for the soul of the nascent Church. The male apostles, led by a fearful Peter, are determined to build a simple church of men, miracles, and absolute authority. To secure their legacy, they must silence the woman who knows too much. Based on the suppressed Gnostic texts where Mary Magdalene is the "Apostle to the Apostles," this novel is the breathtaking reimagining of the woman who fought to keep the true Gospel alive. It is a story of power, erasure, and the audacity of memory in a world determined to forget her name. They made her a sinner. She was a CEO. And she carried the truth they couldn't afford to hear. Who wins the war for the first word of Christ: the man with the keys or the woman with the knowledge?
