Mary Magdalene: In the Beginning OR Will the Real Mary Magdalene Please Stand Up?
Holly Hearon, Associate Professor of New Testament, Christian Theological Seminary
We all know about Mary Magdalene—or do we? What stories can we believe? What was her role among the followers of Jesus? Why was she remembered by the early church? What does her story teach us about discipleship today?
