    Prior to this year’s Festival, Dublin Writers Festival will be co-presenting an event with His Dark Materials author Philip Pullman. An outspoken atheist and humanist Philip is noted for his criticism of growing state authority and government encroachment into everyday life. Philip will be reading and discussing his latest work The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ.

    In this ingenious, spellbinding and fiercely subversive retelling of the life of Jesus, Philip Pullman reimagines the most influential story ever told. He offers a radical new take on the myths and the mysteries of the Gospel truth and the resulting church that has so shaped the course of the last two millennia.

    With all the magic for which Pullman's storytelling is famed, this provocative and thoughtful new book from one of Britain's best loved writers promises to be the highest profile yet in Canongate's acclaimed Myths series.
