The life of the historical Mary Magdalene is the subject of ongoing debate.

A group of scholars have suggested that for one early group of Christians Mary Magdalene was a leader of the early Church and maybe even the unidentified Beloved Disciple oh Christ.

Some modern writers have come forward with claims that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus.

Regardless of ones view of her life, one thing is clear and consistent across beliefs… she was a woman of importance.
