Preparing for Elaine Pagels
I'm going to see Elaine Pagels (of Gnostic gospels fame) Thursday at the Philadelphia Free Library, so I'm currently doing research.
One interesting thing I read concerning the authorship of the traditional Gospels. Why would anyone attribute the gospels of Mark (an associate of Peter) and Luke (an associate of Paul) if it weren't true? If you making things up, wouldn't you attribute the gospels to more important people, like apostles themselves?
