Elaine Pagels was Stephen's guest on the April 17, 2007 edition of The Colbert Report.

BookEdit

• Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity

NOTESEdit

her next book will be called Benedict Arnold, Father of our Country

another book about wiley coyote beating the roadrunner

Bishop Irenaeus was a chatty cathy

gospels were a cottage industry in biblical times

gospels were a way for people to write themselves into jesus' story as the hero

inherant in sc's belief is others' wrongness

God's market of faithiness (faith is as God feels, much like the market decides what is successful)

Ms. Pagels perverts God's Will the way other people change their underwear.

NOTES2Edit

Gospel of Judas first mentioned by Bishop Irenaeus of Lyon A.D. 180

Judas is the hero in the Gospel of Judas. What a surprise. The other Apostles stone him to death.

Her next book will pull for Wile E. Coyote to catch The Road Runner.
