![]() ![]() ![]() Pullman writes The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ in a style similar to biblical stories. I think this structure works really well and helped me read this novel quite fast. They are all here in one form or another. The stories are so well-known listing them is redundant. There are millions of internet sites who can fill in the gaps. I won’t detail what stories Pullman retells here because there are many. The chapters were very short and retell some of the best known biblical stories. ![]() I like the way Pullman structures this surprisingly short novel. I have wanted to read The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ for ages since I read The Gospel According to Jesus Christ by José Saramago for a creative writing class earlier this year. The death of the other is not part of the story. This is the story of Jesus and his brother Christ, of how they were born, of how they lived and of how one of them died. Above all, this is a book about how stories become stories. ![]() In this ingenious and spellbinding retelling of the life of Jesus, Philip Pullman revisits the most influential story ever told.Ĭharged 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. TITLE: THE GOOD MAN JESUS AND THE SCOUNDREL CHRIST ![]()
