The Gnostic Paul - Elaine Pagels
The Gnostic Paul - Elaine Pagels
Anyone read this and has a review? I find the idea that Paul may have been gnostic interesting. Would you recommend, not recommend? Thanks in advance. |

The book is The Gnostic Paul: Gnostic Exegesis of the Pauline Letters (or via: amazon.co.uk). It's been a while since I read it, but I think it is a worthwhile book. Note that Pagels carefully does NOT say that Paul might have been a Gnostic. The book is about how later Gnostics (esp. Valentinius) used Paul's letters.
