I first read Pagels as part of an undergraduate paper on Gnosticism and the canon which is the first thing which intersted me about Patristics. As I recall, that is also where I first read Ireneaus. I wonder how many people have had similar experiences: reading Pagels and dismissing her argument, but being enticed to look further. Peace, Phil God uses some awfully funny things to make his point, doesn’t he?
