9781847678294: The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ

Synopsis

This is the story of two brothers. One is impassioned and one reserved. One is destined to go down in history and the other to be forgotten.

In Philip Pullman's hands, this sacred tale is reborn as one of the most enchanting, thrilling and visionary stories of recent years.

Review

"A supreme storyteller . . . Pullman has done the story a service by reminding us of its extraordinary power to provoke and disturb." (Salley Vickers Telegraph)

"Striking and suggestive." (Boyd Tonkin Independent)

"Beautifully written, humane, memorable and resonant." (Philip Hensher)

"A fierce and beautiful book which . . . will move even those who disagree with it . . . Though he wears his scholarship lightly as befits a master storyteller, there is no doubt in my mind that Pullman has a complete grasp of the intricacies of the quest for the historical Jesus." (Richard Holloway Observer)

"Beautifully effective . . . Pullman's retelling of the central story in western civilisation provides a brilliant new interpretation that is also a thought-provoking reflection on the process of how stories come into existence and accrue their meanings." (Nick Rennison Sunday Times)

"It is a small gem or, given its explosive story and its exquisite artistry, a hand grenade made by Fabergé." (Brian Appleyard Sunday Times)

"The Gospel according to Pullman, precisely because it is so skilfully constructed, will prompt many readers to turn once more to consider whether or not they should accept the apparently bizarre testimony of the early Christian witnesses." (A.N Wilson Literary Review)

"Pullman's rebel scripture [is] striking and suggestive . . . Sets a rhetorical feast before critics of ecclesiastical pomp and pride. When this Jesus prays, prior to his betrayal in the garden of Gethsemane, he delivers a Dawkins-esque soliloquy. Not only does the anarchic prophet predict a future priesthood of hypocrites and persecutors who will "torture and kill" heretics and infidels. He even spots child-abuse scandals to come." (Boyd Tonkin Independent)

"Provokingly bold" (Boyd Tonkin Independent)

"Pullman has an extraordinary imagination . . .[and] there are moments of heart-rending personal drama." (Independent on Sunday)
