This is the new novel by Anne Rice which has just been published and has already made the New York Yimes bestseller list.
About 2 years ago, she published the first "installment" of the series entitled Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, and I enjoyed it very much - as what did was to take the life of Christ and "make up" a very plausible "story" out of it. I am pretty sure that I posted a thread on it and when I have a chance I will look for it.
Enjoy
