Philip Pullman's book on life of Jesus prompts letters condemning him to 'eternal hell'
Philip Pullman is unperturbed by letters from Christians condemning him for his latest book, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, saying he's 'been getting letters of disapproval and condemnation for years'
Philip Pullman is well-accustomed to disapproval from the Christian community: he's been on the US's most "challenged" books list for the last two years for his bestselling Northern Lights trilogy, which portrays God as a senile old man and the church as an oppressive tyrant. So it's unsurprising that he remains sanguine in the face of letters condemning him to "eternal hell" for his new book, The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.
