Why Religion? A Personal Story (2018) Elaine Pagels


This is a memoir by author and scholar, Elaine Pagels.  She is the author of Gnostic Gospels, which I read with interest in college.  This memoir is her backstory and personal take on the subject she's written about in her career.  She goes through heavy stuff including the loss of a son and husband in rapid succession.  The book is worth reading but only if you also read the Gnostic Gospels.
