I have read the same things about her. And if true, I would be very disappointed in her. I would hope that her obvious respect for Scripture, the Church, and tradition would lead her to change her views.

But even if she were a heretic, THIS BOOK is still good.

I read somewhere (maybe it was in Christianity Today) that she is fully supportive of unrepentant gays full inclusion in the church and that she also supports gay marriage!

I heard Living Jubilee's interview of Anne Rice. KFUO archived this show at http://www.kfuo.org/LJ_Main.htm<br/>Ms. Rice not only discusses her book and witnesses to her Christian faith, but also gives some interesting insights into the minds of her Vampire fans. I couldn't stop listening and was sad when the half hour ended.<br/>A blessed Christmastide to you and yours,<br/>Jim Leistico<br/>(on his way to see Narnia today) Scott,

Because when Norman Mailer wrote a gospel according to jesus he did it, and these are his words, in order to make the miracles more palatable. I am very intrigued.

It does not try to explain away the divinity of Christ at all. I think it keeps a good balance. It affirms his humanity and his divinity. I definitely get the impression that this book comes from a genuine expression of faith and devotion. Read her interview in WORLD magazine, if you get the chance. I'll post the link later, but you could find it over Veith's article on the Cranach blog. Cubicle,

I've read other "Gospels according tot he son" books and they tended to be used more as a way to explain away the miracles and life of christ. And not any real devotion to Christ.
