The Sacred Virgin and the Holy Whore
The book "The Sacred Virgin and the Holy Whore" was written by Dr Anthony Harris, and was published by Sphere books in 1988. Honestly and speculatively written from painstaking research, Harris connects the pre-Judean fertility religions with the hypothecated flight of Mary Magdalene, Mary and Lazarus to the South of France, and holds out the possibility of Jesus being in fact a female, who felt motivated to fulfill the prophesies of the Great Goddess religions of Isis, Astarte and others.

Harris sketches intelligent sketches on the sexual politics of the early papacy, including the pontificacy of Pope Joan in the 10th century, the Albigensian Crusades of the 11th century, the destruction of the Cathars and the Knights Templar in Languedoc, with the demise of the priest Sauniere at Rennes le Chateau in the late 19th century. Harris's fascinating hypothesis is that Jesus (Yeshu) was in fact female, and that this suppressed truth has informed the hegemony, tyranny and mysogymy in world religion since the flight of Magdalene to Languedoc in the early 1st century CE. He cites Leonardo da Vinci's creation of the Turin Shroud as a key piece of the Papacy's subversion of truth. In this context, Harrios's work may have informed the more populist Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.
