The Weird and Wonderful "Gospel of Mary"

Written in the 2nd Century CE, the non-canonical "Gospel of Mary" gives us a taste of the wild diversity of Early Christianity. Religious historian Sarah Parkhouse (research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/sarah.par…) joins Helen and Dave in the Time Machine to explain the significance of this mysterious Gnostic tribute to Mary Magdalene.

For more, check out Sarah's book, Eschatology and the Saviour: The Gospel of Mary among Early Christian Dialogue Gospels (cambridge.org/gb/universitypress/subjects/reli…).
