It’s the GodPod Christmas special! Today, Graham, Michael and Jane, are joined by Dr Paula Gooder. Together they speak about the stories of women in the New Testament, including the ones that make up the nativity.

Dr Paula Gooder is a New Testament scholar and Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral in London. She is also the author of numerous best-selling books – including Phoebe, Lydia, and her latest offering, Women of the Nativity: an Advent and Christmas Journey in Nine Stories – within which she fuses her extensive biblical knowledge with her masterful story-telling skills.

About this episode

In this episode, Chine talks to Justin and Belle about the myths she has endeavoured to shatter around motherhood, whether or not the task of mothering can be subcontracted out to machines and how God is as much a mother as he is a father.
