  "Recreating Mary Magdalene: Her Story through the Eyes of the Wade Authors" with Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt - talk and book signing for The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today (Brazos Press, 2024)
  Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt, Franklin S. Dyrness Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies, will offer a lecture based on her recent book, The Mary We Forgot. Across the centuries and traditions, Christians have struggled to convey a clear, biblical account of Mary Magdalene and her significance for the Christian faith. How might C.S. Lewis, Dorothy L. Sayers, and George MacDonald inform a faithful retrieval of her? Dr. McNutt will explore how the Wade authors reflect the complexities of reading the biblical narratives about Mary Magdalene and help the church to see her significance for today.
