Who was Mary Magdalene? Jesus' confidant, a devout follower, or a sex worker?
In this Easter special, Tristan is joined by Helen Bond and Joan Taylor, authors of 'Women Remembered' to explore Mary Magdalene and her role in the bible. Through looking at both ancient and contemporary source material, depictions in art across the centuries, and exploring religious themes they hope to offer a new narrative on the vital roles women played in the Bible.
Their book 'Women Remembered' is out now.
