Ye Gods and Little Fishes

Anne Rice, the Vampire Queen, has found Jesus. Her new book is entitled Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. It’s a year in the life of 7 year old Jesus. She says of her vampire days, “I will never write those kind of books again—never… [They] were reflections of a world that didn’t include redemption...In 2002 I made up my mind that I would not write anything that wasn’t for Christ....My life is committed to Christ the Lord,” she said. “My books will be a reflection of that commitment.”

I’m glad she waited until after she finished the The Lives of the Mayfair Witches, anyway. Her new book gets mixed reviews, some pan the writing (or not), others praise the theology (or not). If you’re a literalist, you probably won’t like it. Jesus raises his first person from the dead at the age of 7 after, supposedly, killing him with bad thoughts. Or something. Strange. I believe I’ll avoid this one.
