  • New book 'The Lost Gospel' claims Mary Magdalene was original Virgin Mary
  • It is based on manuscript found in British Library dating back 1,450 years
  • Professor Barrie Wilson and writer Simcha Jacobovici translated text
  • They claim there was an assassination attempt on Mary's two children
  • Church of England has dismissed claims comparing it to Dan Brown's work

Jesus married his 'soul-mate' Mary Magdalene and they had two children together, a new book has claimed.

'The Lost Gospel' also alleges there was an unknown plot on Jesus' life 13 years before his crucifixion and an assassination attempt on Mary Magdalene and their children.

Professor of religious studies Barrie Wilson and historical writer Simcha Jacobovici based these claims on a manuscript dating back 1,450 years which they discovered in the British Library.

They spent months translating the ancient text and have controversially said that the original Virgin Mary was Jesus's wife, not his mother.

Further claims from 'The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Sacred Text that Reveals Jesus' Marriage to Mary Magdalene' will be released on Wednesday, including the names of the two children.

The book also elaborates on Jesus's alleged connections to top political figures in the Roman Empire such as Emperor Tiberius and his best friend, the soldier Sejanus.

But the Church of England said the work shares more in common 'with Dan Brown (author of the Da Vinci Code) than Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.'

It provides the first translation from Syriac into English of ancient manuscript, The Ecclesiastical History of Zacharias Rhetor (of Mytilene).

This has been at the British Museum and then the British Library for nearly 170 years and will lead some to question why it was not translated before now.

Syriac is a dialect of Middle Aramaic that was once spoken across much of the Fertile Crescent and Eastern Arabia and first appeared in the first century AD.

Mary Magdalene was a prominent figure at the two most important moments in the story of Jesus - the crucifixion and the resurrection.

She is remembered in popular culture as a prostitute and was portrayed by the Catholic Church as the ideal penitent because she supposedly anointed the feet of Jesus.

But, although she is mentioned in each of the four gospels in the New Testament, it does not once allude to the fact that she was a prostitute or a sinner.

'The Lost Gospel' is not the first account to claim that Jesus of Nazareth married Mary Magdalene.

Nikos Kazantzakis made the same suggestion in his 1953 book The Last Temptation of Christ.

And Dan Brown picked up on the ancient and persistent undercurrent in Christian thought that Jesus and Magdalene were in fact a couple in the plot of his best-selling thriller The Da Vinci Code.

It explores an alternative religious history whose central plot is that the Merovingian kings of France were descended from the bloodline of Christ and Mary.

In 2012 a fragment of ancient papyrus was also discovered which is thought to support the explosive suggestion.

The centre of the Coptic document contains the bombshell phrase where Jesus, speaking to his disciples, says 'my wife', which researchers believe refers to Magdalene.

'The Lost Gospel' is a follow up to controversial New York Times bestseller The Jesus Family Tomb.

This tells the story of the discovery of the Talpiot Tomb and makes an argument that it is the tomb of Jesus Christ and his 'family.'

Mary Magdalene's name gives up the first real clue about her and suggests she came from a town called Magdala.

There is a place today called Magdala, 120 miles north of Jerusalem on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.

She is considered a saint by the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, and Lutheran churches with a feast day of 22nd July.

The British Library will not endorse the new book and its conclusions, saying: 'It is not for us to comment.'

Diarmaid Mac-Culloch, professor of the history of the church at Oxford University, said: 'It sounds like the deepest bilge.'

'I'm very surprised that the British Library gives these authors houseroom.'

Shows their historical ineptitude. Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute nor the adulterous woman in John's gospel.

It was some post Nicean Pope who claimed Magdalene was a prostitute. Scripture tells us she was demon possessed and Christ healed her.

I really wonder why people keep recycling the Gnostic texts as if they are new discoveries. None of these manuscripts pre date the scriptures.

What an asinine supposition. Typical of the anti-Christian crusaders and phony academics, "scientists" subverting both science AND history.

Because they are bleating sheep following false shepherds, joining the confused, the ignorant, and fellow damned anti-Christs.

There is more scholarship in a comic book than this trash.

Exactly.

With glee the leftist media perpetuates such rubbish as "scholarly" while telling real Christian theologians their evidence is fantasy and myth.

The scrap of papyrus claiming Jesus had a wife, which was dismissed by the Vatican as a modern forgery, has been authenticated as a genuine ancient document. Scientists from several prestigious U.S universities have said it was written between the fourth and eight centuries. The fragment of papyrus is written in ancient Coptic and reads: 'Jesus said to them, "My wife"' and '…she will be able to be my disciple…'

I took a look at the papyrus, and the quality of penmanship is far below any of the accepted N.T. copies.
