Christ the Lord. Vol. 1: Out of Egypt (2005) is a novel by Anne Rice.

Abstract

Tells the childhood of Christ the Lord, in which the mystery of incarnation is accepted and affirmed as fact. First volume of an announced series devoted to the life of Jesus Christ, from his early years, through his ministry, through his final days, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascent to heaven.

"Having completed the two cycles of legend to which she has devoted her career so far, Anne Rice gives us now her most ambitious and courageous book, a novel about the early years 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 Jesus who tells the story."--Publisher description.
