'A.N. Wilson writes like an angel.' New Statesman & Society; 'Many aspects of Wilson's book will anger or amuse believing Christians and serious New Testament scholars... Anybody who knows the Gospels at all should find their understanding much challenged and enriched by this book.' Jenny Turner, Guardian; 'A very profound and subtle examination of the religious imagination.' Andrew Brown, Independent

A.N. Wilson was born in 1950 and educated at Rugby and New College, Oxford. A fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, he has held a prominent position in the world of letters and has been Literary Editor of both the Evening Standard and the Spectator. An award-winning biographer, he has written lives of Sir Walter Scott (John Llewellyn Rhys Prize), Tolstoy (Whitbread Award for Biography), C.S. Lewis and Hilaire Belloc. When the bestselling Jesus was first published in 1992 it caused a sensation, and it was followed with A.N. Wilson's equally controversial Paul - also available in Pimlico. He lives in North London.
