'Heresy is a brilliant book' - The Times'Enthralling . . .an
absolute pleasure to read' - The Sunday Telegraph‘In the beginning
was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This sentence – and the
words of all four gospels – is central to the teachings of the
Christian Church and has shaped Western art, literature and
language, and the Western mind. Yet in the years after the death of
Christ there was not merely one word, nor any consensus as to who
Jesus was or why he had mattered.There were many different Jesuses,
among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned his parents and
crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold his twin into
slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in his stead.
Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium there were
many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the sick and
cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were pronounced
unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from view.Now, in
Heresy, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary story, one of
contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story about what might
have been.
