About this ebook
The idea that Jesus was married continues to incite fierce debate. But most who address the topic either dismiss the possibility or propound conspiracy theories. Amid the storm of controversy, Le Donne provides a haven of clarity and sense. Approaching the subject from a fresh, historical perspective, Le Donne places Jesus firmly within a socio-cultural context and, by investigating gender and marriage norms, provocatively argues that Jesus could well have been married – although not to Mary Magdalene.

Don't read this book thinking you are going to find the answer to whether Jesus was married. The author lays out the evidence and plays both sides of the argument. Well written and I think well researched. I didn't come away with an answer but it has helped focus my ideas. Unless someone can go back in time or some new evidence is discovered, I don't think we will ever have the answer. Maybe that is how it should be.
