The Woman with the Alabaster Jar

Mary Magdalen and the Holy Grail

By: Margaret Starbird

Narrated by: Christine Marshall

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.

Full of History

I love history, and this references historical events and issues making a decisive impact. I’m planning to listen again to absorb everything.

Fascinating and Inspiring

I love the premise and bringing in all of the signs and symbols, art and stories from throughout the centuries and cultures was riveting.

Good book, annoying narration

I’m enjoying this book and appreciate the truth of history being revealed. However I’m having a hard time with the narration. The flighty tone of the reading is really irritating.

Phenomenal

I wish I could sit down and talk with this woman for hours! This book is essential reading for all Christian people.

This book has not lost its significance in the 30 years since publication.

The research shared in this book is awe inspiring. I will need to listen to it again and again to get all the rich content committed to memory because I want to be able to share this information w others.
