I had a chance to meet with Steve Lewis today and we talked about how much we both enjoyed the book. The conversation reminded me of my conclusions about the book, which seem especially fitting with the DaVinci Code’s realease next week: With The DaVinci Code set to release this spring, there will be another cry among Christians to find a conservative and reliable presentation of the historical Jesus. Maybe the best resource for many won’t be a reference work, but another fictional novel. [...] [...] A few months ago, I wrote my thoughts on Anne Rice’s Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt.

I happened to see her interviewed about this book by Charlie Rose a number of months back. She has refreshingly grounded views about what following Jesus should look like in this world, which I think definitely stems from her previously-held atheistic ideals and thus the contrast of spirituality that has occurred in her life. If I had time, I would try to find the transcript of that interview for you because I bet you'd enjoy it (Charlie Rose asked some very pointed theological questions, which Rice handled very well, in my opinion, and Rose actually admitted to a being a believer himself, which is rare for him to speak of his personal beliefs during interviews). Another sidenote, she mentioned that this book is the first of four, I believe, as she plans to complete her writing career with novels detailing the 33 years of Christ's life. Hope you and the fam are well! John,
