How Much
Do You Know
About the Bible?
NEVER mind. M a n y
supposedly well - informed
persons know less.
A GREAT artist painted
a picture of a young woman
I with glorious red hair,
crouched on the floor,
weeping bitterly. This pic
ture i- called "The Weep
ing Magdalene" or "The
Repentant Magdalene." All
are familiar with it.
A FEW years ago a the
atrical producer in New
York staged a play, en
titled "The Eternal Mag
dalene," giving Julia Arthur
the star role.
These titles are all based
on a popular misconception.
There is no authority for
thinking that Mary Magda
lene or Mary of Magdala
was a "fallen" woman. The
woman who was about to
be stoned has been con
fused- with Mar?< of Mag
dala. The latest edition of
the encyclopedia, under the
heading. "Mary : Magda
lene," at last corrects this
old tradition. Read the
Bible and see for yourself.
