Blud i svetost: Eseji o Mariji Magdaleni

Dimitrije Popović's brilliant essay reflections lead us along the paths from Caravaggio to Picasso, treating the figure of an intriguing saint in painting and sculpture.

Thanks to intense and influential media presentations, especially literary and film productions, the reception of Mary Magdalene has recently become much more complex among the general public, and it seems that this saint has gained exceptional popularity just today, hic et nunc, when she is seen as a "feminist icon", as a "pop-star saint" or a "vamp-saint", or else they qualify her as a "hit-girl of the 21st century".

Taking into account all the historical circumstances of the Christian religion, the times of negation or affirmation of Magdalene's character and her role in the context of Christ's teachings, it is unquestionable that she remains one of the most significant and provocative saints who will continue to arouse interest both in expert circles and in the wider public.
