Reviews
Praise forBeyond Belief "This packed, lucid little book belongs to that admirable kind of scholarship in which . . . the exhausting study of ancient fragments of text against the background of an intimate knowledge of religious history can be represented as a spiritual as well as an intellectual exercise." The New York Times Book Review "With the winning combination of sound scholarship, deep insight and crystal-clear prose style that distinguishes all her work, Pagels portrays the great variety of beliefs, teachings and practices that were found among the earliest Christians." Los Angeles Times "[An] explosive and, some say, heretical look at the evolution of Christianity." The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Elaine Pagels has a gift for bringing ancient Christian texts alive, and for displaying their profound, sometimes startling import for contemporary experience." The Christian Science Monitor "This luminous and accessible history of early Christian thought offers profound and crucial insights on the nature of God, revelation, and what we mean by religious truth. . . . A source of inspiration and hope." Karen Armstrong, author ofA History of God "A book many readers will treasure for its healing, its good sense, and its permission to think, imagine, and yet believe." Karen King, author ofWhat Is Gnosticism? "It is as generous as it is rare that a first-rate scholar invites the reader to see and sense how her scholarship and her religious quest became intertwined. Elaine Pagels calls for a generosity of mind as she takes us into the world of those early Christian texts that were left behind but now are with us. Her very tone breathes intellectual and spiritual generosity too rare in academe."-Krister Stendahl "A thoughtful and rewarding essay, as we've come to expect from Pagels."-Kirkus Reviews From the Hardcover edition.

fast shipping, book is in very good condition. The title intrigued me. I have always believed that certain books were left out of the Bible. Great Read. Would buy from this seller again.

    THOMAS?

    Sorry, I was believing from the tittle this book would reveal much about the book of Thomas. It seems that it does not reveal very much about the book of Thomas. This writer seems to want to inspire readers by using big words. This might be good for intellects, however, average readers on my level are not familiar with such words and do not get very much from it. This writer goes far beyond the education level of the Laymen.

  • Not so good.

    It was a review with little quotes so I could judge her view. I need to do more research of my own.

  • Anyone interested in the Religious Mystery Schools will find this intriguing.

    This is information that has not been available since the beginning of Christian Religious practices, and still is non-gratis for many Christian Denominations. As an unstoppable Seeker of Truth, I feel compelled to search for all that is available to enhance my experience of Jesus as Christ and Teacher, more importantly, as Saviour....this is a reward of a long time seeking. Anyone interested in the Religious Mystery Schools will find this intriguing.

    Your mind will work overtime when you read this book. Very colorful and enlightening to many stories beyond those found in the Bible.
