Hey,

Any who read and enjoyed Stephen Prothero's biography of Olcott (The 
White Buddhist) might find it interesting that his second book is 
getting considerable attention. It's the first nonfiction work 
reviewed in the current New York Times Book Review, entitled 
American Jesus: How the Son of God Became a National Icon. This is 
a kaleidoscopic examination of Jesus in American thought, which 
reviewer Michael Massing calls "well written, judiciously argued and 
impressively researched" but also "sprawling and somewhat shapeless."
