Summary of Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana
The Road to Cana, Anne Rice?s second book in her hugely ambitious life of Christ, begins before his baptism in the Jordan and concludes with the miracle at Cana. It is a novel in which we see Jesus, the man, living quietly in Nazareth as he has for many years. He is still known as Yeshua Bar Joseph. And he is enduring a winter of no rain, endless dust and looming trouble in Judea.Legends of a virgin birth have long surrounded Yeshua, yet for decades he has lived no differently than the others who come to the synagogue on the Sabbath. All who know and love him find themselves waiting for some sign of the path he will eventually take.
And at last we see this quiet man emerge from his baptism to confront his destiny?and the Devil. We see what occurs when he takes the water of seven great limestone jars and transforms it into cool red wine; when he is recognized as the anointed one; when he is urged to call all Israel to take up arms against Rome and follow him as the prophets have foretold.
Like Out of Egypt, the first novel in Anne Rice?s series on the life of Christ, The Road to Cana is based on the gospels and on the most respected New Testament scholarship. The book?s power comes from the profound feeling its author brings to the writing and the subtlety with which she summons up the presence of Jesus.
