The Specials are in town.
Nah, they'd need Jerry Damners to rewrite it for them.

There are apocryphal gospels by both Marys, aren't there?
You mean The Gospel of Mary?
They've worked hard across the years since it was rediscovered to downplay it. It does rather play havoc with the core of especially the Catholic Church (as do other excluded gospels).
And you can't have that - given the centuries of work that went in to fine tuning that story.

I was fascinated to read Philip Pullman’s The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ which might also interest some here. It re-imagines the life of Jesus as if lived by twin brothers, Jesus and Christ, one gentle and naive, the other political and unscrupulous. It’s full of surprises and raises some complex issues.
It's actually sitting on my kindle - ironically awaiting my completion of a Dawkins book.
The way the early church aggressively wrote, re-wrote, edited, deleted and manipulated the mythology, evidence and stories that have since become the various versions of the lore of the faithful has always fascinated me.
