I read it, enjoyed it, and then put it away on the book shelf. While some of the suppositions in the text about early Christianity are interesting and sprinkled with enough references to perhaps encourage someone to delve into the history a little more, I do not consider this to be anything other than a novel.
All the fuss over it has seemed a bit too much. Of course, the fact that so many people want to kick up a ruckus about the book has no doubt helped the sales. |
