The Origin of Satan
“Pagels has achieved something important. . . . Thoughtful
scholarly works that are also original and adventurous are not
common. The Origin of Satan is such a work, and we should be
correspondingly grateful.”
—New York Review of Books
“Illuminating and rewarding ... a very readable scholarly work ...
a model of erudition and conciseness.”
—Newsday
“Fascinating and valuable.”
—The Nation
“Lucid and closely reasoned. . . . Pagels remains always a lively
writer who discerns the human implications of esoteric texts and
scholarly disputes.”
—Chicago Tribune
“One of today’s leading interpreters of the world of early
Christianity. . . . She brilliantly shows how otherwise arcane
theology is related to the social context in which it was
conceived.”
—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
“Succeeds wonderfully”
—San Francisco Chronicle
