Aperçu
Elaine Pagels revolutionized our understanding of the origins of Christianity with her works The Gnostic Gospels and The Gospel of Judas. Now, at the height of a long career, she addresses its most transcendental figure: Jesus. In Wonder and Miracles, she embarks on a quest to discover how an unknown young man from Galilee inspired a religion that changed the course of history. The book reads like a historical thriller, in which each chapter unravels a mystery in light of the Gospels: Why is it claimed that Jesus was born of a virgin? What hidden meaning do his miracles hold? How did belief in his resurrection arise? Pagels's pen unfolds a vibrant narrative in which not only Jesus comes to life, but also his followers. In this way, we understand that some of the most convincing details of the Messiah's life are actually explanations that his disciples devised to cover up uncomfortable facts, such as, for example, that Jesus was not a legitimate son, but was conceived by his mother through the work of God; or that his body was humiliatingly left to rot and be thrown into a mass grave.
