The Gospel of Mary offers a glimpse of Christian teaching before scripture was limited to a four-gospel canon. Its story elaborates Jesus’s appearance to Mary Magdalene and other disciples known from the Gospel of John. The Savior explains “What is the sin of the world?” and Mary recounts his teaching about the rise of the soul, fulfilling his command to tell the other disciples that he is ascending to God.
