I'm guessing that you're familiar with Elaine Pagels' "Gnostic Gospels" and
don't need to be directed there. Her "Beyond Belief" is also very
informative. Not being a scholar or a current Christian I can't speak
meaningfully to your question, but overall I think the interest in
Gnosticism by scholars of religion is centered around the insights it
provides into the origins of early Christianity and it's historical
development.

I realize that some here are busy studying Ayatollah Khomeini's instructions on masturbation, but I have a question for those with less practical interests. What is the current Christian and/or scholarly opinion on the so-called Gnostic scriptures found in the so-called Nag Hammadi Library ?
