This list presents a collection of unique voices that speak for one or more of the themes addressed in this venue, including Mary Magdalene, inclusion, the primacy of love in the Christian way and the promotion of critical and creative thought.  All of them present various
degrees of challenge to traditional Christian frameworks and perspectives. 

It is our hope that these voices, which speak from a wide variety of places and in a wide variety of expressive styles, may speak to a broad range of perspectives.

Thought-provoking writings on the specific subject of Mary Magdalene may be found in the works of  Jane D. Schaberg, Elaine Pagels and Elisabeth Schussler Fiorenza.
