The Magdalene Review

A Mary Magdalene time warp

It seems I’ve had no success in reviving this blog, in spite of my best intentions. Given that I’ve channeled the energy formerly devoted to my Mary Magdalene work into my day job, I’m left with little time or energy to pour back into this blog or Magdalene.org.

That problem aside, it occured to me today that *should* I begin any project for this blog in the near future, it would be interesting to survey and compare the state of Mary Magdalene culture and studies today versus when this blog was most active, as the Da Vinci Code craze was winding down.

Just as a parent who sees a child every day doesn’t appreciate his/her growth as much as an aunt or uncle who only sees the same child every two (three?) years, perhaps examining Mary Magdalene opinions after an interval of two years would be useful in some way.

How have things changed? What Magdalene discussions are occuring in academic circles today? Are they occuring at all? What about popular culture? How about Mary Magdalene “movement” devotees? What related web searches are being performed? What art has proliferated? What books have been written?

I, for one, would be interested in seeing the results of this sort of survey.
