I can't say I like to read these because I'm convinced I'll find more literal Truth, however I do like to read them because they help to me allow my mind to wonder into others views, which ulitmatly do help me understand and find Personal Truth.

Two Easters ago I was finishing 'The Last Temptation of Christ'. While written loosely around Gospel themes and characters, this is a really interesting approach to consider. Perhaps not a new one, but just to read such an idea into words, I personally found it very easy to read and really showed it in a light I felt I could approach with an imagination. Also I finished it the day or two before Easter, which I found slightly ironic, seeming it was a plan.
