Synopsis

The Gospel of the Beloved Companion is the first English translation of a previously unpublished first-century gospel of the same name. Originally written in Alexandrian Greek, and brought from Egypt to the Languedoc during the early to middle part of the first century, this exceptional manuscript has been preserved within the author's spiritual community since that period. In this extraordinary book, the Gospel of the Beloved Companion comes alive to bring us a luminously poetic yet starkly objective insight into, and perhaps a new perspective on, the teachings and philosophy of one of the greatest spiritual teachers the world has ever known.

Author Jehanne de Quillan presents this translation along with a detailed comparative study between the Gospel of the Beloved Companion and the canonical and gnostic Gospels in a clear and easy-to-read format, leading the reader step-by-step to a deep understanding of this remarkable text and, perhaps for the first time, a clear and unsullied view of the woman known to most as Mary Magdalene.

About this title

Review

If you had a personal letter from Mary Magdalene, telling you clearly of her life with Jesus, of his path to spiritual enlightenment, of his death and his true resurrection, to his most trusted Companion, this Gospel would read like just such a letter; a personal, intimate account of his life by the First Apostle.Marge duMondCopy ChiefThe Atlantic

What a gift Jehanne de Quillan brings us in this extraordinary book! This startling Gospel with its lucid translation and clear, objective commentary brings us to the very heart of Yeshua's message. If we have the ears to hear, it will change forever the way we read and understand "the good news".Kathy SpaarWashington National Cathedral 

Although claiming she is not a scholar, de Quillan, with technical accuracy, lays out a flawlessly logical and philosophically sound argument for accepting this document as the true Gospel of Mary Magdalene, and possibly even that upon which other gospels, both canonical and gnostic, are based.Rai d'HonoréDoctor of Medieval French Literature
