461.44/10, UNH - talk on Mary Magdalen & Holy GrailPCBUOA::DBROOKSSheela-na-giggleTue Apr 08 1997 12:3222
Margaret Starbird, author of the book *The Woman With the Alabaster Jar:  
Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail* (1993), will be speaking about her book 
this Thursday evening, April 10, on the UNH campus in Durham, New Hampshire, 
in Murlkand Hall, 7-9 pm.

Margaret Starbird is a devout Catholic and scholar who holds a controversial 
view, which is what her book is about.  From the book's blurb:

"Margaret Starbird's theological beliefs were profoundly shaken when she 
read *Holy Blood, Holy Grail*, a book that dared to suggest that Jesus 
Christ was married to Mary Magdalen and that their descendants carried on 
his holy bloodline in Western Europe.  Shocked by such heresy, this Roman 
Catholic scholar set out to refute it, but instead found new and compelling 
evidence for the existence of the bride of Jesus--the same enigmatic woman 
who anointed him with precious unguent from her 'alabaster jar'.  In this 
provocative book, Starbird draws her conclusions from an extensive study of 
history, heraldry, symbolism, medieval art, mythology, psychology, and the 
Bible itself.  *The Woman with the Alabaster Jar* is a quest for the forgotten
feminine--in the hope that its return will help restore a healthy balance to 
planet Earth."
