From MargaretStarbird.net:

Margaret Starbird reveals many faces of Mary “called Magdalene,” examining in greater depth the question, “Who do we say that she is?” Here the focus is on historical, symbolic, and mythological interpretations of the “Lost Bride” of the Christian story, restoring her to the preeminent position she once held as the intimate and most favored companion of Jesus.

From Booklist:

Starbird, a writer experienced in biblical history, is among the latest to focus on the woman called “the apostle to the apostles.” […] Starbird thinks that the Magdalene and Mary of Bethany were one; other writers think Mary was poor; Starbird styles her as rich. Readers interested in Mary will want to read this book and come to their own conclusions. — Ilene Cooper (Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved)

From Publishers Weekly:

This feminist retelling of the conception, birth, life and death of Christ as narrated by Mary Magdalene may cause some uproar in Christian circles.

Yeshua (Christ) is born to Almah Mari (the Virgin Mary). […] Later Mari Anath becomes Magdalene, or High Priestess of the Goddess, and assumes co-rule with Jehovah, succeeding Almah Mari. Mari Anath follows Yeshua in the years of his ministry, despite objections from some adherents who call her harlot because they oppose the double worship of the Goddess and Jehovah and the equality of sexes that relationship implies.

But days before the crucifixion, when Yeshua sacrifices himself, he and the Magdalene are united in Sacred Marriage in the Temple before the people. Mari Anath gives birth to Yeshua’s daughter Anna after she and Judas […] flee to Gaul to make a new life. First novelist Kinstler, a professor of philosophy, mines the literature of myth to make this lyrically written interpretation plausible.
