The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ

By (author) Philip Pullman

This is a story. In this ingenious and spell-binding retelling of the life of Jesus, Philip Pullman revisits the most influential story ever told. Charged with mystery, compassion and enormous power, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ throws fresh light on who Jesus was and asks the reader questions that will continue to resonate long after the final page is turned. For, above all, this book is about how stories become stories.

Reviews of The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ

'A supreme storyteller … Pullman has done the story a service by reminding us of its extraordinary power to provoke and disturb.' Telegraph
