Elaine Pagels on the Mysteries of Jesus

I said, well, what do you think about this? And a voice came into my head, not auditory. This is fine with me. It's you I think about now. And I said, fine with you? What do you mean fine with you? You leave me with two tiny babies.

It seemed like his voice. It seemed like my husband's voice. And I thought, how dare you ask? How dare you say it's fine with you? So you had a marital argument in his absence? Yes.
