Spirit of the Age

on BBC Radio 3

The traditional image of Mary Magdalen in Western society is of a repentant sinner who symbolises both spiritual and erotic love. In this programme for Easter Day, Christopher Page and his guests Susan Haskins and Evelyn Welsh discuss how our cultural perception of her has been formed, drawing on a range of artistic and musical references.
