Margaret Starbird’s theological beliefs were profoundly shaken when she read Holy Blood, Holy Grail, a book that dared to suggest that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalen and that their descendants carried on his holy bloodline in Western Europe. Shocked by such heresy, this Roman Catholic scholar set out to refute it, but instead found new and compelling evidence for the existence of the bride of Jesus--the same enigmatic woman who anointed him with precious unguent from her “alabaster jar.”

Reviews for The Woman with the Alabaster Jar: Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail
"Offers an alternative view of Christianity for women. . . . It cannot be ignored."
Publishers Weekly
"Provocative and controversial
it will outrage some and give hope to others."
Catholic Women's Network
"As Starbird says, 'No wonder icons of Mary weep!' "
National Catholic Reporter
“Margaret Starbird is a seeker after truth. She seeks to recover the long-suppressed, and not infrequently emotionally opposed, feminine side of the Christian story. Hers is an exciting narrative probing regions of thought long neglected. Magdalen, the Great Mary, emerges with new power.”
John Shelby Spong, Episcopal bishop and author of Born of a Woman
"This fascinating and courageous narrative takes a fresh look at the true meaning of the Holy Grail and the defeminization of the early church, and comes up with some shocking revelations that may change the way one perceives Christianity forever."
Nexus
"Margaret Starbird's work is of particular interest to me because it fuses the diverse fields of symbolism, mythology, art, heraldry, psychology, and gospel history. Her research opens doors for each of us to further explore the rich iconography of our own spiritual history."
Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code
