Reading this passage at first I was very confused as a christian realizing and I found myself asking why the “Book of Mary” wasn’t included in the Bible and I was confused to why? Did it not fit the Bible? Did it not suit the priests that all put the Bible together because Mary was a women? Or because the book itself made many christians uncomfortable and the beliefs would have been confused and contradicted with other books in the Bible. The Gospel According to Mary Magdalene speaks about how the disciples did not spread the word of God and the gospel joyfully but were rather scared to spread the Gospel as Jesus wanted them to, because they were worried about ended up with the same fate as him. Reading this as a Christian who knows a little bit about the Bible definitely clears up the reasoning and the image to why this book was not put in the Bible. Through out the Bible, the disciples of Jesus are put on a high pedestal and never once mentioned that they were scared to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ because through out the Bible we have been told that the disciples were supposed to be the closest men to Jesus.It brings up confusion and many questions to why this book was not placed in the Bible…
