Jesus' Female Disciples: The New Evidence

1 x 47 HD
Broadcaster:  Channel 4

The traditional story of the birth of Christianity is a male dominated affair - only men were priests and the disciples of Jesus. But now, Bible experts and historians Helen Bond and Joan Taylor lay out a striking alternative version of events, that sees women central to the origins of Christianity

But why has this pivotal role played by women disappeared from history?

In a journey that takes them to ancient caves in Israel and catacombs in Italy, Helen and Joan call into question centuries of Christian thought. Were female disciples actually crucial to Jesus’ mission? Preaching, healing, baptising and even financing the movement. If they’re right millions of Christians may have to rethink the origins of their faith.
