Editorial Review:
In Magdalene’s Lost Legacy, author Margaret Starbird decodes the symbolic numbers embedded in the original Greek phrases of the New Testament--revealing the powerful presence of the feminine divine.The New Testament contains wide use of gematria, a literary device that allows the sums of certain phrases to produce sacred numbers. Exploring the hidden meanings behind these numbers, Starbird reveals that the union between Jesus and his bride, Mary Magdalene, formed a sacred partnership that was the cornerstone of the earliest Christian community.Magdalene’s Lost Legacy demonstrates how the crucial teaching of the sacred marriage that unites masculine and feminine principles--the heiros gamos--is the partnership model for life on our planet and the ultimate blueprint for civilization. Starbird’s research challenges the concept that Christ was celibate and establishes Mary Magdalene as the human incarnation of the sacred bride. The author also explains the true meaning of the “666” prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Through this potent reclaiming of the lost legacy of Mary Magdalene, Margaret Starbird offers the opportunity to restore the divine feminine to her rightful role as bride, beloved, and sacred partner.

Rating:  - Too weird
Following up on the success of her other Mary Magdalene books, Starbird wrote Magdalene's Lost Legacy. This book focuses on Starbird's belief that the New Testament contains wide use of gematria - the sums of certain phrases to produce sacred numbers. Starbird believes that the gematria of the New Testament reveals the union between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and that the gematria was the cornerstone of the earliest Christian community. I had a difficult time reading this book. I never really believed ... Read More
Rating:  - Christianity by the Numbers
One of the leading authorities on the life of Mary Magdalene (MM) renews her thesis by examining the Greek/Hebrew practice of Gematria (converting letters into numbers and examining the meaning of the numbers) and its implications for our understanding of who MM was and what her role was. Starbird draws heavily on the work of John Mitchell (The City of Revelation) to show that MM was the bride of Jesus and that the choice of words (e.g., the Magdalene) reinforces this conclusion. While this is the central ... Read More
Rating: - Finding the land of milk and honey.....
In MAGDALENE'S LOST LEGACY, Margaret Starbird continues her exploration of the message of Mary the companion of Yeshua (Jesus) by examining the gematria of the canonical gospels and other books of the Bible's New Testament.
As every statistician knows, the Greek alphabet consists of symbols like "delta" and "pi" that also work as numbers. Starbird suggests that using Greek alphanumerics to encode relevant passages, early "heretical" Christians hid verboten material in otherwise inoffensive text. Irenaeus, ... Read More
Rating: - Gematria & Gnostic Symbolism in Christianity
This book is certainly thought-provoking, as it examines esoteric coding that suggests occult symbolic meanings contained within the texts of Christianity. There are now numerous books that claim to expose various forms of hidden information in Biblical texts and apocrypha. In this book of Starbird's the focus is on the symbolism of masculine and feminine polarities in the Jesus & Mary Magdelene characters, and their alleged marriage being a symbolic spiritual union of polarities. One thing that neither Starbird ... Read More
Rating: - Reclaiming the Feminine in the Divine
I have read all of this author's book, which are greatly research and intimately presented. This is her greatest work so far, and in stating the obvious ~ the true foundation and inception of Christianity ~ she has taken a step in faith as she was raised with certain dogmas, beliefs and attitudes.
This book confirms what I have long known to be the truth and seeing it so concisely presented by such an accomplished theologian is wonderful.
The writer's love for the Magdalene is apparent in all her works, and ... Read More
