Let's try loving one another

(Pages 1-6 are missing.)

— Mary 1:1

Mary Magdalene's gospel starts with missing pages.  These are the words we can't get back, this is the wisdom, the voice of Christ from the heart of a woman, that was torn out and most likely destroyed before the rest of her gospel was buried.  There was something so incendiary in these first six pages that her gospel starts on page seven.

Mary Magdalene Revealed: The First Apostle, Her Feminist Gospel and the Christianity We Haven't Tried Yet ~ by Meggan Watterson, 2019, religion, 264 pages

I started by reading the short introduction of the author on page 239, and then I read the introduction on pages xiii - xvi and watched an interview between the author and the managing director of Hay House on YouTube (click this link, if the video below doesn't work for you).  The author's website is https://www.megganwatterson.com/

"The message is to LOVE each other."  That's a quote about 6 minutes into this 38-minute video, which I think gets to the point that LOVE is what it's all about.  Believing certain things is not the point, worshipping the right way isn't it, either.  Just LOVE one another.  That's the Christianity we haven't tried yet, in my opinion.  Then I was ready to really get into this book and see if that's also what "the first apostle" says in her book.
