Like the mystery plays written and performed in medieval Europe, Mary
Magdalene: A Mystery Play is a creative but biblically accurate retelling of a
Bible story. This play retells the most important Bible story--Jesus' crucifixion
and resurrection--but this time solely from Mary's perspective. As one present
not only at the crucifixion and resurrection, but a recipient of Jesus' benevolent
and selfless healing, Mary uses her unique story to witness to--and thus to
change the life of--a young man who inquires as to why she is keeping vigil at
the Garden tomb. The four-scene play is written in early modern English, the
same literary language used in the 1611 King James Bible. This 5 3/4" x 8 3/4"
book is completely hand bound and illustrated by the author of the play. If you
would like your copy inscribed, please indicate the name of the person to whom
the inscription should be addressed. $35
