The identity of the Beloved Disciple, and therefore the author of John, has been a topic of low-consequence speculation for centuries. But recent scholarly insights give this mystery a profound gravity: a woman upheld as a pillar in the early church and apostle to the apostles was also the sister of the author of the New Testament's most mystical and intimate stories about Jesus Christ. The Fourth Gospel may be the closest we get to the spirituality and legacy of Mary Magdalene.

And not at all in a DaVinci Code way at all.
