Redeeming Mary, Redeeming Jesus

Research Output: Contribution to journal Article Peer-review

Abstract

This article argues that Martin Scorsese's Mary Magdalene is as unique as Scorsese's Jesus; she plays an integral role in the film, both in her own journey, and as a central catalyst in Jesus' transformation. In these and other ways, The Last Temptation of Christ both redeems Mary Magdalene and portrays her as a redeemer of Jesus.
