In the modern world we have a relatively narrow idea of who Jesus was, but things were quite different in the early years of Christianity. Many alternative versions of his life and personality proliferated, while at the same time, several other saviours also competed for attention. These stories are at the centre of a new book Heresy: Jesus Christ and the Other Sons of God<\/em> by the classicist and author Catherine Nixey, who is joined in conversation for this episode by Rob Attar.<\/p>\n

Catherine Nixey is the author of Heresy: Jesus Christ and the Other Sons of God<\/em> (Picador, 2024)<\/strong><\/p>\n
