‘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 Heretic, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary
story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story
about what might have been.
