## Overview

Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas (Vintage) is Elaine Pagels’ acclaimed exploration of early Christian texts, focusing on the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas. This vintage edition offers a fresh perspective on faith, religious orthodoxy, and spiritual diversity, backed by extensive scholarship and praised by over 800 readers with a 4.5-star average.

## Description

In Beyond Belief , 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. Spurred on by personal tragedy and new scholarship from an international group of researchers, Pagels returns to her investigation of the "secret" 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 "rogue" voices of Christianity encourage and sustain "the recognition of the light within us all."
