Miracles and Wonder: The Historical Mystery of Jesus by Elaine Pagels; Doubleday, 336 pp., $30Elaine Pagels is the great popularizer of early Christian history. In books such as The Gnostic Gospels (1979), The Origin of Satan (1995), and Revelations (2012), she has documented both long-repressed and still-influential strains of belief, and sometimes explored in personal terms the draws of religion and spirituality.

A quick anti-rabbi thought here…I’ve been reading a bit more about early Christianity and I experienced one of those moments: I come across an idea so obvious and trite that I don’t even think about it. And yet the idea stayed in my head and rattled around in there and I slowly realized that this thing is a lot more significant than I thought.
