Product Information

Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most thoughtful and powerful book, a novel about the childhood of Christ the Lord based on the gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship. The book's power derives from the passion its author brings to the writing, and the way in which she summons up the voice, the presence, the words of the young Jesus who tells the story.

Reviews
What the critics are saying about Anne Rice's Christ the Lord "A riveting, reverent imagining of the hidden years of the child Jesus . . . A triumph of tone-her prose lean, vivid-and character . . . Christ the Lord is a cross between a historical novel and an update of Tolstoy's The Gospels in Brief, it presents Jesus as nature mystic, healer, prophet and very much a real young boy . . . Essentially it's a mystery story, of the child grappling to understand his miraculous gifts and numinous birth . . . As he ponders his staggering responsibility, the boy is fully believable-and yet there's something in his supernatural empathy and blazing intelligence that conveys the wondrousness of a boy like no other . . . With this novel, Anne Rice has indeed found a convincing version of him; this is fiction that transcends story and instead qualifies as an act of faith." -Kirkus Reviews "Rice retains our rapt attention with the use of small, visceral details. We can almost taste the food Jesus would have eaten, experience the sights and sounds, the chaos and bustle of a large clan, with which he would have been familiar." -Bernadette Murphy, The Los Angeles Times "Rice is as serious as a Commandment, and has muscled up her story of the junior Jesus by obsessively researchig the most minute detail of family, communal and religious life in first-century Palestine. . . . Rice is just as ambitious, much more orthodox and just getting warming up . . . From Lestat the vampire to Jesus the Lord is a supernatural stretch but Rice makes it. Convincingly." -Bill Bell, Daily News "Well-researched and nicely written and Rice uses restraint in telling her tale. She believably represents Jesus' gradual understanding of his origins and fate. . . . Reverent and often moving." -Natalie Danford, People "[Rice] writes this book in a simpler, leaner style, giving it the slow but inexorable rhythm of an incantation. The restraint and prayerful beauty of Christ the Lord is apt to surprise her usual readers and attract new ones." -Janet Maslin, The New York Times "Rice brings the same passion to her colorful account of the young Jesus and his quest to understand his strange powers (turning clay pigeons into live birds, bringing a dead child back to life). . . . In her attempt to breathe life into a historical religious figure, Rice's superb storytelling skills enable her to succeed where many other writers have failed. . . . Highly recommended." -Library Journal "This is, in fact, an intensely literal, historical, reverent treatment of a year in the life of Jesus, son of God, written in simple, sedate language that steers clear of both clanging anachronisms and those King Jamesian ye's and unto's and begats." -Lev Grossman, Time "In Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt, Anne Rice scores a direct hit: By embracing the miraculous, she manages to give us a Jesus who is divinely human." -Frank Wilson, The Philadelphia Inquirer, What the critics are saying about Anne Rice's Christ the Lord "A riveting, reverent imagining of the hidden years of the child Jesus . . .

As he ponders his staggering responsibility, the boy is fully believable -- and yet there's something in his supernatural empathy and blazing intelligence that conveys the wondrousness of a boy like no other. . . . With this novel, she has indeed found a convincing version of him; this is fiction that transcends story and instead qualifies as an act of faith. Joins Nikos Kazantzakis's The Last Temptation of Christ and Endo's A Life of Jesus as one of the bolder re-tellings." -Kirkus Reviews (starred) Praise for Blood Canticle "When Anne Rice releases a new book in The Vampire Chronicles series, cheers from her huge fan base can be heard everywhere." -The Edmonton Journal, What the critics are saying about Anne Rice's Christ the Lord "A riveting, reverent imagining of the hidden years of the child Jesus . . .

  • Christ the Lord by Anne Rice (2005)

    I was given a copy of this novel by my sister and am most grateful to her for receiving it. Anne Rice is a most outstanding author, the book is fantastic. She gets one actively involved and makes one feel that they are right there experiencing the same things right along with the characters and really draws one in, to the point that you are totaly immersed with all surroundings and what is happening. The amount of historical background research that has gone into the preparation to the writing of this great novel far surpassed anything I expected. I most highly recomend this novel for it will give all an entirely new way to critically look at the young life of Christ, epically by showing in detail what all the characters have gone through and cannot but help to stimulate ones brain to ...

  • Some of Anne Rice's most beautific writing! Genius!

    I love love these books! Anne Rice is my favorite writer and with the exquisite detail in which she writes, you are entered into the story as if you are witnessing the entire story. You feel as if you are the trusted friend of Jesus and his family and you are transported to that time and are experiencing everything the characters are. Anne Rice creates a world in this story which provides easy understanding of the time and what it is like living under the Roman Empire. The author creates easy understanding of the traditions, hierarchy, and the role of the Jews as well as the Priests and the different rulers and who they take orders from.The most amazing thing is that Anne Rice sets an understanding of the barbarity of the time and actually allows you to feel how torn Pilot is with his ...

  • Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt

    Anne Rice is a wonderful writer, who lost her faith in college, wrote many books about vampires, and found her faith again following the death of her husband of many years. Since then she is devoting her life to novels, imaginings if you will, about the early hidden life of Jesus. The first installment: "Out of Egypt" is told from the perspective of Jesus recalling when he was seven years old with his family in Alexandria and just beginning to understand. The first line of the novel: "I was seven. What do you know when you are seven?" The story follows the family's return journey to Nazareth in Galilee after Joseph's dream that King Herod is dead and it is safe to return home. It is an amazing story. In an author's note following the story Rice outlines he personal journey and her ...

  • Excellent book by a truly exceptional author.

    Anne Rice is one of today's most talented writers. Whether or not you like the subject matter of a specific book, you will be awed by her incredibly brilliant story-telling ability. Reading something she has written is pure joy - not just for the story but for the absolutely flawless artistry of her writing. This particular novel happens to be a fascinating story about a subject that is extremely compelling. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read, and anyone who is interested in learning more about the time of Christ. It is realistic, intelligent, well researched and altogether a masterpiece. It does not preach a religion...it tells a story of how things may well have been during the boyhood of one of history's most intriguing and influential figures.

  • Not A Tribute to Anne Rice's Talent

    I was very disappointed by this book. I have nothing but respect for Anne Rice, but this book felt very poorly written. The story was repetitive. She kept going back & saying certain things over and over again within a short period of time. This happened with several phrases.I felt that it was done to bring the reader back & keep the event in their mind, but the repetition was oddly placed & in such a short book it was unnecessary, especially because it didn't feel like it tied into anything else later on. However - the Authors Note at the end was much MUCH better. I was surprised to read that she researched so much and came up with such a light story, but it was inspiring to read her thoughts on the subject & her words there actually affected me. I'm glad I read it - if for no other ...
