Interpretation During Books The Moon Under Her Feet

Narrative weaving the biblical account of Mary and Jesus, the Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris, and the Sumerian story of Inanna and Dumuzi to create an exotic tale of a strong, sensual woman.

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) after her union in Sacred Marriage at the Temple in Jerusalem with an unblemished man who kills himself as a sacrifice for his people. 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 im plies. 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 (who is The Christos's twin brother and betrays him at his behest in order to fulfill the prophesy) 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. She provides notes and a bibliography to buttress much of her tale.

Column Of Books The Moon Under Her Feet

I have this book over and over. It is a different version of the of Mary Magdalene and Jesus and it is very interesting.

this is a very interesting take on the Christian narrative--fictional, of course, but thought-provoking.

I like the Goddess stuff, and the idea of feminism injected into religion. Mythology is more my style. When it got to christianity 2/3 of the way in, I got bored. Otherwise, took a lot of good stuff from it, despite it being fiction.

This imaginitive telling of the Christ story repositions Mary Magdalene as a high priestess of the Goddess and Jesus as the son of another high priestess.Though there is archaelogical support for much of the historical information presented, the characterizations of Mary and Jesus are ultimately disappointingly weak. Both characters are described as charismatic, inspiring the devotion of a multitude of followers, but none of this charisma is conveyed. I didn't feel especially drawn to either

Wow! I couldn't put this one down. It's heart wrenching and so beautiful! It's the kind of book that really takes you away. I starting taking my own path very seriously after reading it. I firmly believe that every woman (and any man open to it) could learn a lot from this book and relate to more than one character. Enjoy!

Review @ www.LitLoversLane.comThis book was a gift a few years ago from my sister. I fell in love with it the first time I read it, and have read it more than oncea very rare occurrence for me. I dont keep many books, mainly for space reasons. But this re-imagining of the greatest story ever told, which brings the role of women back into Jesus Christs story, is one that has never, and probably never will, leave my bookshelf.Let me begin by saying, if you are a person with no wiggle room in your

This was given to me by a friend whose literary tastes I respect, but I'm afraid this a case of a novel that however well-written I couldn't wrap my mind around. The subtitle of the novel is "The Story of Mari Magdalene in the Service of the Great Mother." It's the first person account of the figure we know as Mary Magdalene in the New Testament and here the wife of Jesus. This was written over a decade before The Da Vinci Code, but given her Notes and Bibliography at the back of the book shares
