Synopsis
NATIONAL BESTSELLER * NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER * NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE WINNER * SELECTED BY THE MODERN LIBRARY AS ONE OF THE 100 BEST NONFICTION BOOKS * The landmark study exploring alternative perspectives of early Christianity as revealed through the Nag Hammadi texts that could have shaped the religion differently if included in the Christian canon * "[Pagels] is always readable, always deeply informed, always richly suggestive of pathways her readers may wish to follow out for themselves." -- Harold Bloom, The Washington Post "[Pagels] writes with the instincts of a novelist, the skill of a scholar, and the ability to sort out significances that many writers lack." --Chicago Tribune * " An intellectually elegant, concise study . . . The economy with which [Pagels] evokes the world of early Christianity is a marvel." --The New Yorker The Gnostic Gospels is a work of luminous scholarship and wide popular appeal. First published in 1979 to critical acclaim, winning the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award, The Gnostic Gospels has continued to grow in reputation and influence. It is now widely recognized as one of the most brilliant and accessible histories of early Christian spirituality published in our time. In 1945 an Egyptian peasant unearthed what proved to be the Gnostic Gospels, thirteen papyrus volumes that expounded a radically different view of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from that of the New Testament. In this spellbinding book, renowned religious scholar Elaine Pagels elucidates the mysteries and meanings of these sacred texts both in the world of the first Christians and in the context of Christianity today. With insight and passion, Pagels explores a remarkable range of recently discovered gospels, including the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, to show how a variety of "Christianities" emerged at a time of extraordinary spiritual upheaval. Some Christians questioned the need for clergy and church doctrine, and taught that the divine could be discovered through spiritual search. Many others, like Buddhists and Hindus, sought enlightenment--and access to God--within. Such explorations raised questions: Was the resurrection to be understood symbolically and not literally? Was God to be envisioned only in masculine form, or feminine as well? Was martyrdom a necessary--or worthy--expression of faith? These early Christians dared to ask questions that orthodox Christians later suppressed--and their explorations led to profoundly different visions of Jesus and his message. Brilliant and stunning in its implications, The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith., NATIONAL BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE WINNER - SELECTED BY THE MODERN LIBRARY AS ONE OF THE 100 BEST NONFICTION BOOKS - The landmark study exploring alternative perspectives of early Christianity as revealed through the Nag Hammadi texts that could have shaped the religion differently if included in the Christian canon - "[Pagels] is always readable, always deeply informed, always richly suggestive of pathways her readers may wish to follow out for themselves." -- Harold Bloom, The Washington Post "[Pagels] writes with the instincts of a novelist, the skill of a scholar, and the ability to sort out significances that many writers lack." --Chicago Tribune - " An intellectually elegant, concise study . . .

The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
