Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; 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. Brillian, provocative, and stunning in its implications. The Gnostic Gospels is a radical, eloquent reconsideration of the origins of the Christian faith.
