Ep. 26 The Gospel of Eve with Rachel Mann

Welcome to Have a Blessed Gay, your weekly spiritual-comedy podcast! Join holy host, Tyler Martin, as he critically discusses social norms, current events, mental health, religion, and spirituality from an outcast's perspective. This week, Tyler chats with Rachel Mann, a priest, poet, writer and broadcaster based in Manchester, UK. Author of 11 books, her writing has been shortlisted in the international Michael Ramsey Prize for theology, and highly commended in the Forward Poetry Prizes. Her bestselling memoir of growing up trans, ‘Dazzling Darkness’ has just come out in a second edition, and her newest book, The Gospel of Eve, is published in hardback, kindle and audiobook and available wherever books are sold. So, definitely check it out! It was such a blast talking with Rachel and we got into a ton of topics, including the idea of rebelling within religion, what a “calling” is, and the actual real-life Gospel of Eve. Yes, there was an actual Gospel called the Gospel of Eve that was considered for the New Testament when it was being constructed...and you shall find out in this conversation why it was most likely not included.
