Enjoyed that much more than I was expecting, and Catherine Nixey seems to have had a jolly old time researching and writing the book, she revels in all the creative and crazy stories about Jesus Christ and other aspiring messiahs that were circulating in the early centuries AD and have often been suppressed since as the Church with its single version of truth has come to dominate. I'm trying to interest Libby in reading the introduction at least, as I think she'll enjoy the challenge to orthodoxy and she wants to do RE for GCSE next year. I'll keep trying.
