Summary: This book focuses on the Gospel of Mary in the context of a broader analysis of early Christian dialogue gospels - a popular literary genre used to present Jesus as conversing with select disciples and answering a series of questions on life, death and the cosmos at the conclusion of his earthly career. Jesus' teachings in these texts can vary greatly, from affirming the resurrection of the flesh to denying it completely. This book highlights the diversity of perspective within this genre, bringing together New Testament, 'gnostic' and (proto-)orthodox texts. Yet each text is based on the premise that it contains new or clarified teaching from the risen or glorified Lord, often in the form of a final revelation concerned with disciples' eschatological salvation. This book offers a fresh and in-depth analysis of the Gospel of Mary in the context of the dialogue gospel genre, concentrating of the narrative frame, the eschatological teachings and the relationship between the two. -- Back of dust jacket cover.
