LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Knowing God?

I read with great interest the excerpt from Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana (Feb. 23/March 1) by Anne Rice. Her approach and style is refreshing, but I question her statement that at the temptation, "Satan doesn't really know that Jesus is God." The accuser did not question Christ's identity. He knew full well who the starving Man in front of him was and pressed with all of his power to make Jesus abort the plan of salvation.
—Dan Peters; Thousand Oaks, Calif.

How dare a person put herself in the mind of our Savior and put her words in His mouth!
—Bernice Krahn; Fairfield, Idaho

The right question

The problem was not evangelicals' lack of influence but a diffusion of influence due to the lack of a good candidate ("The end of an illusion," Feb. 23/March 1). We were very uncomfortable with a Mormon who had so recently shifted gears in our favor, and with Huckabee, who would have been too blatantly Christian and not blatantly Republican enough to have won a national election. We don't have any influence with John McCain. Evangelicals were intuitive enough to see this. The result was confusion regarding how to vote in primaries. But could we powerfully influence a national election with the right candidate? Yes.
—Mary Farrar; Copper Canyon, Texas
