"On the first widely available audio recording of this extraordinary scholar, Dr. Pagels explores the text that has changed the way many Christians think about Christ's message. She reveals that Thomas was not a ""doubter"" of Christ - instead, his thoughtful inquiries reflected and brought out the deepest truths that Jesus had to offer. Thomas's account depicts a Jesus who taught us that the ""Kingdom of Heaven"" is not a separate realm, but a state of divinity that we all can reach."
