| | Elaine Pagels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pagels argues that the Gospel of John was written as a reaction to the Gospel of Thomas, as a rebuttal to it. | | | Elaine Pagels (née Hiesey, born February 13, 1943), is the Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion at Princeton University. | | | In both The Gnostic Gospels and Adam, Eve, and the Serpent, Elaine Pagels examines the way that women have been viewed in Christian history, and thus these texts have been important in the feminist study of religion. |

| | Beyond Belief by Elaine Pagels |
| | Pagels' infant son was diagnosed with fatal pulmonary hypertension, her pursuit of knowledge about who Jesus really was has become a question of personal urgency for her. | | | Pagels compares Thomas’s gospel (which claims to give Jesus’ secret teaching, and indicates an affinity with the Kabbalah) with the canonic texts to show how the early Church chose to include some gospels and exclude others from the collection we know as the New Testament – and why. | | | Pagels feels that if the Gospel of Thomas were included in the New Testament instead of that of John, or even if it were included along with John, the development of Christianity would have been quite different. |

| | PAGELS: The Gospel of John speaks of Jesus as the "light of the world," the "Divine One" who comes into the world to rescue the human race from sin and darkness, and says, "if you believe in him, you can be saved. | | | Pagels found herself outside the Church of the Heavenly Rest, an Episcopal church in Manhattan, doubting its orthodoxy, needing its sustenance. | | | WILLIAMS: Elaine Pagels's intellect may have lacked conventional faith, but she had the heart of a spiritual seeker. |

| | Another agreeable aspect to Gnosticism, to which Pagels devotes an entire chapter in The Gnostic Gospels ("God the Father/God the Mother"), is the expanded role of the feminine in the theology and of women in the Church. | | | One is tempted to see Pagel's thesis as simply of a piece with Protestant anti-clericism and with the distast of liberal religion for "organized" religion, confessional religion, religious dogma or doctrine, and, last but not least, Popes. | | | In The Gnostic Gospels Elaine Pagels says that she does not present Gnosticism and its Gospels as better or preferable to traditional Christianity. |

| | Elaine Pagels' book, Beyond Belief: the Secret Gospel of Thomas, is less a book about the Gospel of Thomas than it is an historical review that questions the traditional views of the development of creedal Christian orthodoxy. | | | Shortly after Elaine Pagels’ two-and-half-year-old son was diagnosed with a rare lung disease, the religion professor found herself drawn to a Christian church again for the first time in many years. | | | Pagels then shows how the Gospel of John was used by Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon and others to define orthodoxy during the second and third centuries. |

| | As a result, Pagels said, the Gospels, which were intended not as history but as preaching, as religious propaganda to win followers for the teachings of Christ, portrayed the conflict of the Passion as one between Jesus and the Jewish people, led by Caiaphas. | | | Pagels explained that the four gospel writers of the New Testament probably wrote between 70 and 100 A.D. These were the years following the Roman defeat of the Jews, which left the Temple and the center of Jerusalem in ruins. | | | Usually, she is measured, soft-spoken, but there was the slightest tone of agitation in her voice: “It’s important to remember that this is Lent, and meditations on the Passion of Christ are an important part of the cultural interpretation of human suffering. |

| | Traditionalist scholars objected to Pagels' textual interpretations and feminine emphasis (Pagels' research should not be confused with the more recent feminist/consensus values publishing industry), but she had cross-referenced orthodox apologetic arguments against Valentinian texts. | | | Pagels' magisterial and witty writings reveal an important neuro-political lesson: Salvation must be found from personally mediated truths. | | | Although not a cohesive movement (Valentinus's sect is amongst the most famous), Gnostic Christian sects placed greater emphasis on personal direct experience of the Judeo-Christian God's revealed knowledge. |

| | ELAINE PAGELS - THE ORIGIN OF SATAN |
| | All audiences should find her style and tone to be very fair and unbiased. | | | Anyone interested in the Bible or the history of western thought should strongly consider reading this book and her book called Adam, Eve, and the Serpent. | | | (I read this book more than six months before writing this review so the details are a bit foggy.) Pagels charts the evolution of the Jewish and Christian concept of evil from Old Testament times to the present day (although the majority of the book deals with the New Testament era). |
