“The novels of Philip Pullman, which have been condemned as blasphemous by some critics, should form part of pupils’ religious education, the Archbishop of Canterbury said in a speech made public yesterday.
Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy, which was partly inspired by Milton’s Paradise Lost, should be used by teachers to address the “inadequacy” of some religious education courses, Dr Rowan Williams told a meeting of religious leaders and academics hosted by Tony Blair at Downing Street on Monday.”
