For the unbeliever there is no proof good enough.
For the believer, no proof is nessacary.

My boyfriend started to read Anne Rice's new Jesus novel but put it down after 50 pages, disgusted. (he actually bought the book for me as a Christmas present but I haven't gotten to it yet). He declared the prose "simple and dull, dull, dull" and refused to waste anymore time on it when there are stacks of other books in our kitchen from his "To Read" list that are still unread. A tepid bore, according to him, and it's no accident that it's printed in giant font. Haven't picked it up myself but I'm curious now.

I agree with you boyfriend lex. It is dull and boring and makes no sense. The story of Jesus is far more fascinating than Ms. Rices version.

I liked it BUT...
I'm a "bible freak".
I LOVE the historical/archeolicical aspects etc.

It's definitely NOT worth the $30 or whatever it was I paid and would be close to the bottom of my "must read" pile. The only good thing is you can read it in 1 or 2 days. It's not much of an investment.
