Bible Note: Sttil, Elaine Pagels believes the true teachings Jesus, the truer Jesus Himself, can be found in the Nag Hammadi scrolls. She posits that the early Church suppressed these in order to streamilne and refine the Gospel against competing gospels (particularly "Thomas' Gospel"), to intitutionalize Christianity and to make it a hardier, more reassuring (and atractive) faith in the face of persecution. How do you read John 14:6? Was it an authorial, or scribal, addition? Colin |
