Reading Elaine Pagels.....

Do you know her? Elaine is one of the true great theologians of our time. I first knew about her through her book "The Gnostic Gospels" and -almost at the same time- saw an interview with her, talking about the Gospel of Mary Magdalene in a show made about the "Davinci code".

"Beyond Belief; The Secret Gospel of Thomas" is one of her many wonderful scholar -yet- spiritual books ever, in which she explores the historical comparison of the Gospel of Thomas with the Gospel of John, and explains -in plain English- the -again- historical consuecuences of the supression of the "Gnostic writings" (or apocripha)

Great book for those in Spiritual search and torn between western and eastern traditions.
