Mary Magdalene, Saint

Gormley imagines the biblical characters of Mariamne from Magdala and Matthew the tax collector as young people struggling through a difficult adolescence to become followers of Rabbi Yeshua. Gormley's interpretation of Mari's demonic possession strikes a thoughtful balance between literal and symbolic explanations, just as she advocates subtly for a feminist understanding of women's roles and authority within Christianity.
