Summary:	"In recent years there has been a significant increase of interest in non-canonical gospel texts, the study of Gnosticism, and also in the figure of Mary Magdalene. The Gospel of Mary is a potentially important text in all these contexts. The gospel came to light at the end of the nineteenth century and is now attested (in part) in one Coptic manuscript (BG 8502) as well as two Greek Fragments. Christopher Tuckett provides a fresh critical edition of all the known manuscripts, together with English translations, and extended Introduction, discussing modern debates debates about the gospel and placing it in its appropriate historical context; and a Commentary, outlining some of the key issues in the interpretation if the text. Photographic reproductions of all the extant manuscripts are also included."--BOOK JACKET.
