The world is a mess. Everyone agrees on that point, but we can't agree on the solution. The common solutions all fail because we get in the way. God is the only answer, but people don't want to hear that. We can't force people to change. We can't convince people to change through reason and argument.

Yet her never-ending appeal is odd for one who appears so briefly - and then so elusively - in the Bible: so what has made her so entrancing to generations of Christians and non-Christians alike? Was she, as many now argue, actually Jesus' wife and the mother of his children? And why is she intimately c...
