Philip Pullman - Edinburgh International Book Festival August 14, 2010

A THOUGHT-PROVOKING INTERPRETATION OF THE STORY OF JESUS

The astonishing His Dark Materials trilogy won Philip Pullman the Whitbread Book of the Year and the Carnegie Medal. Now, Pullman has re-imagined the story of christianity in The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ. In this keynote event he discusses his ideas with Richard Harries, formerly Bishop of Oxford and Dean of King’s College London. It’s certain to be one of the talking points of the
2010 Book Festival. Introduced by Richard Holloway. Supported by the Hawthornden Literary Retreat.

Booking opens 26 June
