The Gnostic Gospels by Elaine Pagels Read Free Book Online Page A

Especially I wish to thank Lydia Bronte and Lita A. Hazen for their encouragement throughout the whole project.
    The present version of the book would have been impossible to produce without the superb editing of Jason Epstein, Vice President and Editorial Director of Random House; the excellent advice of John Brockman; and the conscientious work of Connie Budelis in typing and Barbara Willson in copyediting.
    Finally, I wish to thank my husband for his loving encouragement in the process of this work.
