We welcome author and American religious historian Elaine Pagels to the Rector’s Forum this Sunday, January 12th, at 10:15 a.m. She will discuss her latest memoir Why Religion? A Personal Story.

Elaine is the Harrington Spear Paine Professor of Religion at Princeton University. She has conducted extensive research into early Christianity and Gnosticism. Her best-selling book The Gnostic Gospels (1979) examines the divisions in the early Christian church, and the way that women have been viewed throughout Jewish history and Christian history. Modern Library named it as one of the 100 best books of the twentieth century. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear and interact with this influential author and educator!

Copies of her books will be available for purchase. For more information, call 626.796.1172. All Saints Church is at 132 N. Euclid Avenue, Pasadena 91101, directly across Euclid from Pasadena City Hall.
