Title: fascinating historical discussion where many fear to tread
Product review: Reading Elaine Pagels is much like reading Marvin Harris or B.F. Skinner. You thought you understood something, and then you find yourself following her arguments and realizing that you didn't understand quite as well as you thought you did. This is not for those who are afraid to have their basic assumptions questioned. As a unitarian, I find Dr. Pagels work in the finest tradition of religious and literary criticism. I've never read a bad book of hers, and this is no exception.
