I've been interacting with Lisa Diamond’s fascinating book Sexual Fluidity: Understanding Women's Love and Desire. In my previous post, I summed up Diamond’s conclusions about sexual fluidity and ended with her thoughts about the whole nature vs. nurture debate. 

Mary Magdalene is one of the most well-known and yet misunderstood women in the Bible. She’s commonly portrayed in Christian art as a forgiven prostitute, or, in an extreme case, she’s thought to be Jesus’ wife—the “holy grail”—according to Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code.

The New Testament says a lot about women. Jesus’ ministry was largely devoted to instilling value in women.
