Reviews
"""Sandra Rushing's The Magdalene Legacy is a cry of the heart that must be heard. Those in the Christian churches should pay particular attention. What they will gather from this book by an ordained Presbyterian minister is a content that all who take their religion seriously should heed, whether their institutions ordain women or not. For what is examined closely, with a judicious use of Jung and Jungians and theologians of a matching probity, is the low state of women in organized religion and what we have lost as a result, with the treatment of Mary Magdalene as a signal example. One need not agree with all of the theological interpretations to find, as I did, a moving narrative in this book of personal history and religious understanding, and splendid statements of faith, ingeniously articulated to withstand institutional scrutiny.""-Dr. Barry Ulanov"
