Kids' author says Jesus is not God
An atheist children’s author is to use his latest book to say that Jesus was not God, instead claiming the Apostle Paul imagined the idea. In a new book entitled The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ, Philip Pullman says the idea of Jesus being God came from the ‘fervid imagination’ of Paul. Mr Pullman is a strident atheist who has said his books aim at ‘killing God’. Critics have described his work as ‘proselytising’. The Association of Christian Teachers’ Chief Executive, Rupert Kaye said of the trilogy: ‘My key concern is that many young people (and adults) who read Philip Pullman’s trilogy will be left with an extremely distorted understanding of what Christians actually believe and what the Bible really says about the person of God.’ Columnist Melanie McDonagh warned about His Dark Materials, a trilogy written by Pullman, saying it was ‘actually setting up a parody of Christianity as a thing itself.
Pray:
for those reading this book that they will not be misled but will gain a desire to discover the true Gospel message. (Ac.20:30)
