I absolutely love Professor Elaine Pagels.

[kimberlywallace]

Love Dr. Elaine Pagels and have read several of her books and watched many of her lectures. Dr. Pagels is positively brilliant in this interview podcast and covers each topic so comprehensively and so gracefully. The way she explains The Book of Revelation is especially brilliant.
Well done Derek Lambert for your best presentation ever. All of the scholars you have interviewed have been excellent and you are deserving of a big round of applause for your knowledge and ability to ask all the sort of questions that bring out the answers to the mysteries of scriptures.

[christinanegrete]

I really enjoyed listening to Dr. Pagels. This is the first time I have heard her speak. She really seems to know her stuff. Very scholarly. I will tune in again.

[thebookstopshere]

Thank you so much for this Derek. Not to mention huge appreciation for Dr. Pagels. Excellent interview. :)

[johnmcgrath]

My devout Catholic mother would not tolerate any talk of hell. When anyone, including priest or nuns, said something about hell, she would say "How do they know, have they been there?" She made it clear that there was no one true religion and that all people are saved, even the evil doers. Her religion was about respecting and helping others when possible, about making things better for people here on earth. She believed deeply in the sacraments as source of grace and community. I see no need to be a Catholic or any other religion

[stevenhuntley]
