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 have been remembered by posterity, noting how many were silenced, tamed or slurred by innuendo -although occasionally they got to slay dragons. WOMEN REMEMBERED digs into the biblical texts, the representation of these women in art, and the way they have been remembered in inscriptions and archaeology - exposing misogyny and offering alternative and unexpected ways of appreciating them 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.
