Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas (Vintage)

In <b>Beyond Belief</b>, renowned religion scholar Elaine Pagels continues her groundbreaking examination of the earliest Christian texts, arguing for an ongoing assessment of faith and a questioning of religious orthodoxy. <br><br>Spurred on by personal tragedy and new scholarship from an international group of researchers, Pagels returns to her investigation of the €œsecret€ Gospel of Thomas, and breathes new life into writings once thought heretical. As she arrives at an ever-deeper conviction in her own faith, Pagels reveals how faith allows for a diversity of interpretations, and that the €œrogue€ voices of Christianity encourage and sustain €œthe recognition of the light within us all.€
