Record summary
The Gospel of Mary presents post-resurrection teaching associated with Mary, a visionary ascent through hostile powers, and disagreement among disciples concerning her authority. The principal Coptic manuscript is incomplete, while Greek fragments provide additional evidence. It matters for comparison because it links revelation, visionary ascent, gendered authority, and disputes over legitimate teaching. The text’s original language, date, theological setting, and relationship among the Coptic and Greek witnesses remain debated, and the modern label may overstate certainty about its attribution to Mary Magdalene.
