Do you think that Jesus only surrounded himself with men? Think
again. Inspired by their popular Channel 4 documentary Jesus'
Female Disciples, historians Helen Bond and Joan Taylor explore the
way in which Mary the mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Mary, Martha
and a whole host of other women - named and unnamed - have been
remembered by posterity, noting how many were silenced, tamed or
slurred by innuendo - though occasionally they get to slay dragons.
Women Remembered looks at the representation of these women in art,
and the way they have been remembered in inscriptions and
archaeology. And of course they dig into the biblical texts,
exposing misogyny and offering alternative and unexpected ways of
appreciating these women as disciples, apostles, teachers,
messengers and church-founders. At a time when both the church and
society more widely are still grappling with the full inclusion and
equality of women, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the
historical and cultural origins of Christianity.
