In the Garden

Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Delois Barrett Campbell and Professor Alfred Miller performing "In the Garden".

I found this video a couple days ago, and decided to use it for today's post. Then this morning I heard an interview with Marilynne Robinson about her new book, When I Was a Child I Read Books. She talks about this very song. Though I have heard this song many times, her interview was the first time I realized that the song was written from the perspective of Mary Magdalene.
