This is my third Pagels book. I come from a background of not growing up with religion, though I was introduced to 12 step support groups at a young age. That was my spiritual base. I came to the Methodist Church in my mid 30's did a lot of Disciple Bible study while I was there for 10 years. Now I'm a Unitarian Universalist. This book was right up my alley and addressed all my misgivings with orthodox Christianity. I think I'm pretty much a Thomas guy. So, I very much enjoyed it and related to it. Pagels is an excellent writer and, though some of this can be pretty dry, her writing flows well and pulls you along.(less)
