Still on the gnostics binge. This feels a bit misleading: there’s more about the Gospel of John than Thomas. At the moment, Ehrman has more of the info I’m looking for, but will try another Pagels.

A fascinating exegesis on the early church, which not only serves to give some background to the so called ‘apocryphal gospels,’ but also highlights the path some of the early church fathers took to control doctrine. I approached this book simply wanting to know more about these lost teachings, but left with a broader understanding of how our current teachings of Christianity were formed. I have more questions than answers, and I’m ok with that.
