Meggan Watterson and The Girl Who Baptized Herself
Description
Meet Meggan Watterson, the bestselling author of Mary Magdalene Revealed, and a feminist theologian with a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary at Columbia University.
In her new book The Girl Who Baptized Herself, she shares how Thecla’s story in The Acts of Paul and Thecla, helped her personally reclaim her own power, in an area of her life where she felt powerless.
In this interview she talks about how Thecla’s refusal to be controlled, as well as the authority she reclaims by baptising herself, reads like a lost gospel for finding our own source of power within – a power that allows us to know who we are and to make choices based on that knowing.
