Jesus Christ as the son of God was nothing more than the literary invention of St Paul, according to Philip Pullman’s new book. In it Pullman seeks to retell events from the bible with more ordinary interpretations. Whether the book will draw the ire of the church or pass under its radar will depend on media interest over the next few months. The book is set to be published by Canongate, next Spring, so watch this space.
