Broadview has a new podcast!

And Also Some Women is a look at the Bible’s most fascinating women. Listen in as host Junia Joplin and reporter Anne Thériault explore popular Biblical women through a feminist lens. Their conversations with leading theologians offer surprising new takes on familiar characters like Eve, Esther and Mary Magdalene.

This podcast is made possible thanks to a donation by longtime Broadview readers Revs. Lillian and John Perigoe.

Listen to the third episode now

In this episode, host Junia Joplin and reporter Anne Thériault tackle one of the Bible’s biggest celebrities: the most venerated saint, wife, and mother in the New Testament, Mary, mother of Jesus. This episode provides some fascinating insights about Mary, including how her politics may have shaped Jesus’ ministry and how church fathers have used her virginal image to enforce patriarchal ideas.

Guests: AJ (Amy-Jill) Levine, Dorothy Lee, Sister Barbara Reid
