Personally, I don't think this is much of a departure, she spent a lot of time trying to reconcile the things of macabre myth and legend with her own religious beliefs - I think the last book I read even had a dialogue between Lestat and God.

What, I think will be most curious is Anne Rice could never let ambiguity rest, she had to explore and answer everything in excruciating detail. To me that seems the antitithesis of fiath. Her 3 volume account of Jesus' life may be her way of answering all her questions of God, explaining things in such a way that she can begin to believe them, but I suspect those in the religious community might take issue with her artistic license.

In the ned I think she might actually write a good story, but I doubt it'll do anything for anyone's spirituality, save her own.
