His Dark Materials

Jesus Christ was an historical figure and religious icon.

Role

Some followers of the teachings of the Magisterium (for example the League of St Alexander) held Jesus in high authority, however it is unclear precisely the role Jesus played in Lyra's world's formation of Christianity. One example of Jesus' role in Lyra's world is Iofur Raknison's wish to be baptized 'as a Christian'.

Behind the scenes

  • Pullman has stated that Jesus was a way Dust expressed truth; as a prophet sent by the Angel Sophia to preach wisdom.[1]
