Description:
Published in 2010, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ by Philip Pullma has recieved critical acclaim and scrutiny for its themes of anti-organized religion. Pullman recites the life of Jesus as it presents in the Gospels, but with a twist: Mary has given birth to twins. Jesus and his brother Christ present the reader with two distinct characters -- the morally righteous Jesus and the scheming Christ. Christ contrives a narrative of his twin, ultimately leading to his death and the establishment of weaponized religion -- the Church.
