Pullman's historical understanding has been criticised by Jesuit theologian Professor Gerald O'Collins. Published in 2010 by Canongate Books, as part of the Canongate Myth Series, it retells the story of Jesus as if he were two people, brothers, "Jesus" and "Christ," with contrasting personalities Jesus being a moral and godly man, and his brother Christ a calculating figure who wishes to use Jesus' legacy to found a powerful Church. The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ is a novel by Philip Pullman. ![]()
