This book, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award, has become an essential reference work on the Gnostic gospels. Professor Elaine Pagels explores the deep discrepancies that existed among early Christians regarding the life of Christ, his teachings, and the structure of the Church. Through rigorous analysis, the author examines the Gnostic doctrines that challenged the established orthodoxy, including those that questioned the resurrection and priestly authority. The work reveals how the early Church declared these texts heretical and sought their elimination, forcing the reader to reconsider the origins and meaning of Christianity from a historical and revealing perspective.
