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) 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) will move even those who disagree with it. "Beautifully written, humane, memorable and resonant." (Philip Hensher) "Striking and suggestive." (Boyd Tonkin Independent) Pullman has done the story a service by reminding us of its extraordinary power to provoke and disturb." (Salley Vickers Telegraph) The research by the author cannot be challenged but the subject is such that it will never be enough because time unlike history never repeats itself in its entirety."A supreme storyteller. The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ makes the Christian texts an account of one man who has molded the account slightly as per his perception. Today, authors try to humanize deities and present a tale that is almost believable over the texts and epics that have been preserved painstakingly. The story of Jesus is true because people believe it to be true. You can do whatever you want but you will only be judged according to what the world perceives of you. What I know is that truth is what the world knows. All three tried to make sense of what is true. To understand the myth and yet the irrefutable recording of the Roman rule in the time period, and because I take an interest in mythology, I saw a documentary on the rise of Christianity on Disney+ Hotstar and even an episode of Mythology, a podcast on Spotify.
The book is a tale that is known to the entire world and yet is unknown to all due to its dated origins.
The major difference was only the existence of two brothers instead of one to Mother Mary. How can you judge what doesn’t deviate largely from the facts we know today?
The story was such that it is difficult to judge it. It related all the facts we know about the birth of Jesus but it made it real. It relates the story of the Son of God as two brothers, Jesus and Christ. The Good Man Jesus and The Scoundrel Christ is part of The Myths series penned by various authors.
