He traces the arrival of Mary's entourage and the unique role of Orange. But then he lurches into a tirade against Islam; liberalism; and climate change that just goes on and on with no apparent connection to Mary Magdalene. I'd read a political book of his if he published it -- he seems smart and well read -- but I resent having it smuggled into the Jesus trilogy.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. InterestingBy Laura GreenI have family ties to the Orange family and loved the book on kindle until I got to the 75% area. When there's nothing but the history of Muslems. I think that could be better off in a completely separate book. I would have rather seen the history of Orange been taken to where that family line is today. Other than that love all the other books.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. What Happen To Mary Magdalene?By SummerI ordered this book after listening to Mr. Ellis speak on a talk show over the radio. I was very excited to read something factual about Mary Magdalene but out of 296 pages; only 34 pages mentioned her. I don't understand why this book had Mary Magdalene for the title. I lost interest in the rest of the book because it had nothing to do with Mary. I felt like I was given a small appetizer but the main entrée never arrived.
