About this episode
Most people think that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. Others say she was Jesus' closest disciple (and the Gospels have covered it up).
Yet others go even further to suggest they had an intimate relationship -- or even were married! Is any of that possible?
If possible, is it true? In this episode we look at what we can actually know about Mary Magdalene and her relationship with Jesus.
