Lecture 1 : Jesus’ Female Disciples - Wednesday 11th September
In 2017 Joan Taylor and Helen Bond shot a documentary, Jesus’ Female Disciples: The New Evidence, for Channel Four (UK), which was subsequently screened worldwide, including in Australia on ABC. This documentary presented some of the archaeological and literary evidence that indicated that women were among Jesus’ closest disciples during his mission in Galilee, and that there was a memory of such women, and their leadership, in the early Church. This first lecture looks at the range of evidence we possess and the issues about how to interpret it.
