What do the gospels tell us about Mary Magdalene? She was a committed disciple of Jesus during his public ministry and at the cross. She was the first to encounter the Risen Lord on Easter morning. And she received his commission to be the apostle to the apostles. Through Dinah Chapman Simmons’ reflections on these experiences, Mary Magdalene invites us into a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus.

The pages of our Bibles are filled with the stories of women and men who have played a unique role in salvation history. By entering into a few key biblical passages written by or describing these people, we begin to see how our own story continues God’s great work of salvation in the world. Their witness continues to speak to us and challenge us to stand as faithful witnesses in today’s world.
