About the book

Elaine Pagels's The Gnostic Gospels examines early Christian texts discovered near Nag Hammadi in Egypt in 1945. These writings reveal alternative interpretations of Jesus, salvation and spiritual authority that differed from the traditions eventually adopted by mainstream Christianity. Pagels places the texts within the religious debates of the early Church and explores why some beliefs became orthodox while others were rejected.
