I believe that Elaine is far more willing to express her true feelings about the misogyny that she perceives in the historical founders of the orthodox church. Back when I used to talk to her, she expressed surprise and pleasure in the feminist streak that she saw in the gnostic literature. That was her focus, and it resonated well with Barnard College, traditionally an all-female school.

I've heard this about her, but...

Is it just me, or does Pagels' seem to ignore parts of the GoT? Inter alia, the following:

"114. Simon Peter said to them, "Mary should leave us, for females are not worthy of life." Jesus said, "See, I am going to attract her to make her male so that she too might become a living spirit that resembles you males. For every female (element) that makes itself male will enter the kingdom of heaven." "
