In this Price Lecture, Dr. Elaine Pagels, one of the world’s foremost scholars of religion, speaks about her groundbreaking work on the Jesus of the canonical Gospels and the Jesus one meets in the Gospel of Thomas. Dr. Pagels is the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship and the Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion at Princeton University. Her work on the extra-canonical writings of ancient Christianity spurred a revolution in the field of New Testament Studies and brought the exciting, urgent, and wonderful diversity of early Christianity to vivid life. This lecture was co-sponsored by Trinity & Contemplative Outreach of Boston.
Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it?
In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies.
In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.

The writings of Elaine Pagels are possibly the most substantial contribution to the advancement of modern Gnostic studies. Her seminal book, the award-winning and chronic bestseller The Gnostic Gospels, awoke a global interest in Gnosticism across all spectrums. The Gnostic Gospelsis widely considered an essential reference companion or at least primer to any Nag Hammadi library involvement. Her also popular work, Beyond Belief, is regarded as one of the most impacting efforts involving the Gospel of Thomas (as well as the esoteric spectrum of the Gospel of John). And in between, Pagels' other publications have cast a bright sunlight on mainstream awareness concerning alternative Christianity. She joins Aeon Byte to offer her insights on Gnosticism (and why it probably never existed), various shades of heretical literature including the Gospel of Judas, and a tireless career to grant a voice to the ancient counterculture Christians who offered mystics options for soul liberation. Lastly, we surprise you with other revelations concerning the world of Gnostic studies.
Astral Guest-- Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels, The Gnostic Paul: Gnostic Exegesis of the Pauline Letters, Adam, Eve and the Serpent, The Origin of Satan, and Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas, as well as Harrington Spear Paine Foundation Professor of Religion, Princeton University, New Jersey.

Elaine Pagels, Professor of Religion at Princeton University, is perhaps the highest profile writer and thinker to express disagreement with the church position on Satan the devil. Her best selling book The Gnostic Paul is well worth a read if you're interested in this theme
She begins where we have done- that Christianity and Judaism taught only one God, and this left no place for a devil / satan in the orthodox sense.
60. Who is Satan?
'Satan' is a personification of what early Church fathers considered evil: like , lust, greed, pride. Satan is "the power of materialism." (158) Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Paul, p.p. 67.
Satan, is in a sense a demonic personification of evil, which can be seen as scare tactics we can liken parents using stories of the bogyman to scare children into obeying rules when they are too young to understand the purpose of the rules, to those who would use Satan to scare themselves and others into doing good until they wanted to do it on their own accord.
The relationship of Satan with sin appears late in the Old Testament, "he [Satan] is an accuser, a heavenly officer [of God], whose function it is to question and to test the genuinity of human virtue." (159) The appearance of Satan as a tempter (the devil is like God's prosecuting attorney in the book of Job), however, does not affect the Old Testament belief that man is, himself, the responsible agent of his sin.
It is apparent in 2Co 11:13 that Paul is having trouble with those who claim to be Christian Apostles, but to Paul they were anti-Christs, who would use Jesus for their own personal gain, i.e. "ministers of Satan." (160)
"The scriptural doctrine of Satan is nowhere systematically developed [in the New Testament]...the source of evil is found in the flesh* and its passions, in self-love and ignorance, rather than supernatural personalities." (161) In short, Satan is a personification of the negative aspect of human nature, not a real character.
Exorcism can be seen as a concentrated effort to purge the consciousness of false standards, not to extract demons. See Elaine Pagels, The Origin of Satan, Pgs. 34 and 38, Vantage Books.
Satan and the devil are equivalent expressions for the word sin now the word sin is used in 2 major ways the transgression of the law and the physical fallen nature of mankind called original sin
Satan The devil is a personification of human nature this is not an abstraction but that physical principle of the animal nature, which is the cause of all its diseases, death, and resolution into dust. It is that in the flesh "which has the power of death" and it is called sin, because the development, or fixation, of this evil in the flesh, was the result of transgression. Inasmuch as this evil principle pervades every part of the flesh, the animal nature is styled "sinful flesh," that is, "flesh full of sin"; so that sin, in the sacred style, came to stand for the substance called man. In human flesh "dwells no good thing" (Rom. 7:17,18); and all the evil a man does is the result of this principle dwelling in him.
Fallen angels are Christians who have gone astray from the truth. Those who are too weak in their commitment and understanding of Jesus' Christ teachings. They do not carry it into their daily lives. The term 'backsliders' is synonymous with fallen angels

Elaine Pagels, née Hiesey (born Palo Alto, California, February 13, 1943), is the Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion at Princeton University. The recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, she is best known for her studies and writing on the Gnostic Gospels. Her popular books include The Gnostic Gospels (1979), Adam, Eve and the Serpent (1988), The Origin of Satan (1995), Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas (2003), Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity (2007), and Revelations: Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation (2012).
Pagels was born in California, daughter of a research biologist. Pagels ceased attending church[clarification needed] after the death of a Jewish friend. She graduated from Stanford University (B.A. 1964, M.A. 1965). After briefly studying dance at Martha Graham's studio, she began studying for her Ph.D. in religion at Harvard University, as a student of Helmut Koester, and part of a team studying the Nag Hammadi library manuscripts. She married theoretical physicist Heinz Pagels in 1969. Upon completing the Ph.D. in 1970, she joined the faculty at Barnard College, where she headed the department of religion from 1974 until she moved to Princeton in 1982.

Stephen Tyrone Colbert (
/koʊlˈbɛər/ or /ˈkoʊlbərt/; born May 13, 1964) is an American political satirist, writer, comedian, television host, and actor. He is the host of Comedy Central's The Colbert Report, a satirical news show in which Colbert portrays a caricatured version of conservative political pundits.
Colbert originally studied to be an actor, but became interested in improvisational theatre when he met famed Second City director Del Close while attending Northwestern University. He first performed professionally as an understudy for Steve Carell at Second City Chicago; among his troupe mates were comedians Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris, with whom he developed the critically acclaimed sketch comedy series Exit 57.
Colbert also wrote and performed on the short-lived Dana Carvey Show before collaborating with Sedaris and Dinello again on the cult television series Strangers with Candy. He gained considerable attention for his role on the latter as closeted gay history teacher Chuck Noblet. It was his work as a correspondent on Comedy Central's news-parody series The Daily Show, however, that first introduced him to a wide audience.

Through the bestselling books of Elaine Pagels, thousands of readers have come to know and treasure the suppressed biblical texts known as the Gnostic Gospels. As one of the world's foremost religion scholars, she has been a pioneer in interpreting these books and illuminating their place in the early history of Christianity. Her new book, however, tackles a text that is firmly, dramatically within the New Testament canon: The Book of Revelation, the surreal apocalyptic vision of the end of the world . . . or is it?
In this startling and timely book, Pagels returns The Book of Revelation to its historical origin, written as its author John of Patmos took aim at the Roman Empire after what is now known as "the Jewish War," in 66 CE. Militant Jews in Jerusalem, fired with religious fervor, waged an all-out war against Rome's occupation of Judea and their defeat resulted in the desecration of Jerusalem and its Great Temple. Pagels persuasively interprets Revelation as a scathing attack on the decadence of Rome. Soon after, however, a new sect known as "Christians" seized on John's text as a weapon against heresy and infidels of all kinds-Jews, even Christians who dissented from their increasingly rigid doctrines and hierarchies.
In a time when global religious violence surges, Revelations explores how often those in power throughout history have sought to force "God's enemies" to submit or be killed. It is sure to appeal to Pagels's committed readers and bring her a whole new audience who want to understand the roots of dissent, violence, and division in the world's religions, and to appreciate the lasting appeal of this extraordinary text.

The writings of Elaine Pagels are possibly the most substantial contribution to the advancement of modern Gnostic studies. Her seminal book, the award-winning and chronic bestseller The Gnostic Gospels, awoke a global interest in Gnosticism across all spectrums. The Gnostic Gospelsis widely considered an essential reference companion or at least primer to any Nag Hammadi library involvement. Her also popular work, Beyond Belief, is regarded as one of the most impacting efforts involving the Gospel of Thomas (as well as the esoteric spectrum of the Gospel of John). And in between, Pagels' other publications have cast a bright sunlight on mainstream awareness concerning alternative Christianity. She joins Aeon Byte to offer her insights on Gnosticism (and why it probably never existed), various shades of heretical literature including the Gospel of Judas, and a tireless career to grant a voice to the ancient counterculture Christians who offered mystics options for soul liberation. Lastly, we surprise you with other revelations concerning the world of Gnostic studies.
Astral Guest-- Elaine Pagels, author of The Gnostic Gospels, The Gnostic Paul: Gnostic Exegesis of the Pauline Letters, Adam, Eve and the Serpent, The Origin of Satan, and Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas, as well as Harrington Spear Paine Foundation Professor of Religion, Princeton University, New Jersey.

Elaine Pagels, Professor of Religion at Princeton University, is perhaps the highest profile writer and thinker to express disagreement with the church position on Satan the devil. Her best selling book The Gnostic Paul is well worth a read if you're interested in this theme
She begins where we have done- that Christianity and Judaism taught only one God, and this left no place for a devil / satan in the orthodox sense.
60. Who is Satan?
'Satan' is a personification of what early Church fathers considered evil: like , lust, greed, pride. Satan is "the power of materialism." (158) Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Paul, p.p. 67.
Satan, is in a sense a demonic personification of evil, which can be seen as scare tactics we can liken parents using stories of the bogyman to scare children into obeying rules when they are too young to understand the purpose of the rules, to those who would use Satan to scare themselves and others into doing good until they wanted to do it on their own accord.
The relationship of Satan with sin appears late in the Old Testament, "he [Satan] is an accuser, a heavenly officer [of God], whose function it is to question and to test the genuinity of human virtue." (159) The appearance of Satan as a tempter (the devil is like God's prosecuting attorney in the book of Job), however, does not affect the Old Testament belief that man is, himself, the responsible agent of his sin.
It is apparent in 2Co 11:13 that Paul is having trouble with those who claim to be Christian Apostles, but to Paul they were anti-Christs, who would use Jesus for their own personal gain, i.e. "ministers of Satan." (160)
"The scriptural doctrine of Satan is nowhere systematically developed [in the New Testament]...the source of evil is found in the flesh* and its passions, in self-love and ignorance, rather than supernatural personalities." (161) In short, Satan is a personification of the negative aspect of human nature, not a real character.
Exorcism can be seen as a concentrated effort to purge the consciousness of false standards, not to extract demons. See Elaine Pagels, The Origin of Satan, Pgs. 34 and 38, Vantage Books.
Satan and the devil are equivalent expressions for the word sin now the word sin is used in 2 major ways the transgression of the law and the physical fallen nature of mankind called original sin
Satan The devil is a personification of human nature this is not an abstraction but that physical principle of the animal nature, which is the cause of all its diseases, death, and resolution into dust. It is that in the flesh "which has the power of death" and it is called sin, because the development, or fixation, of this evil in the flesh, was the result of transgression. Inasmuch as this evil principle pervades every part of the flesh, the animal nature is styled "sinful flesh," that is, "flesh full of sin"; so that sin, in the sacred style, came to stand for the substance called man. In human flesh "dwells no good thing" (Rom. 7:17,18); and all the evil a man does is the result of this principle dwelling in him.
Fallen angels are Christians who have gone astray from the truth. Those who are too weak in their commitment and understanding of Jesus' Christ teachings. They do not carry it into their daily lives. The term 'backsliders' is synonymous with fallen angels
(158) Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Paul, p.p. 67.
(159) John L. McKenzie, S.J., Dictionary of the Bible, p. 774.
