The Lord \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eloved Mary more than all the other disciples and he kissed her often on her \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emouth (the text is missing here and the word ¿mouth¿ is assumed). The \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eothers saw his love for Mary and asked him: ¿Why do you love her more than \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eall of us?¿ The Savior replied, ¿Why do I not love you in the same way I \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elove her?¿ - (The Gospel of Philip) - Peter said to Mary; ¿Sister we know \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat the Savior loved you more than all other women. Tell us the words of \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Savior that you remember and know, but we have not heard and do not \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eknow. Mary answered him and said; ¿I will tell you what He hid from you.¿ - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(The Gospel of Mary Magdalene) - Seizing on the texts above, writers of both \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efiction and non-fiction allowed their pens to run freely amidst conjecture \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand postulation of marriage and children between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe writers of The Da Vinci Code and Holy Blood, Holy Grail took these \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epassages and expanded them into storylines that have held readers captive \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith anticipation. Did Jesus take Mary to be his wife? Could the couple \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave produced children? Gnostic theology leaves open the possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fifth Estate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47039733760240,"sku":"9781933580135","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933580135_p0.jpg?v=1763641122","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933580135","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
