The idiotic Gnostic crap put out by Walther Bauer and his flunky Elaine Pagels and picked up by dishonest 'scholars' like Bert Thurman have all been thoroughly shot down by Darrell Bock and a few others. Get a copy of Bock's The Missing Gospels for a short intro to why these hacks are rubbish, most especially their ridiculous claims that the orthodox books weren't the 'originals' and 'Constantine rewrote them to suit himself n stuff'. Only true idiots keep repeating that inane nonsense any more. 'Gnosticism' is too hilariously dumb even for the Xian bashers to keep babbling about.
