Whitehouse is also literary agent for the British novelist Norah Lofts. She blogs regularly for The Huffington Post.
Her latest book is A Woman"s Worth, The Divine Feminine in the Hebrew Bible.
Whitehouse"s 2007 book The Marriage of Jesus explored the social and economic times in which Jesus lived. Her theory is that Jesus would have married, like any other young man of his times, at the age of approximately 14.
Working from historical knowledge of the times (and referencing Suzanne Dixon"s book The Roman Mother) Whitehouse begins from the premise that the average life-span of a woman in Jesus" time was 27 years. As Jesus is said to have begun his ministry at approximately 30 years old, she finds it likely that he was a widower by that time.
In the 1990s Whitehouse wrote a fictional trilogy about a female cousin of Jesus, including The Book of Deborah.
Whitehouse"s novel The Miracle Manitoba, an updated version of the story of Christ, was published in November 2010. Whitehouse studied New Testament Greek at Birmingham University for a year with Mark Goodacre and David Parker. She became an interfaith funeral minister in 2003.
