The Last Book
http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2012/03/05/120305crbo_books_gopnik
Adam Gopnik reviews Elaine Pagels' eye-opening (wide!) dissertation on the last book of the Holy Bible. Is it really accurate to say "The truth is that punitive, hysterical religions thrive, while soft, mystical ones must hide their scriptures somewhere in the hot sand." ?

"You can’t help feeling, along with Pagels, a pang that the Gnostic poems, so much more affecting in their mystical, pantheistic rapture, got interred while Revelation lives on.
