| Anne Rice: Called Back to the Darkness? |
December 09, 2016 |
|
Vampire novelist Anne Rice has a conflicted soul. When we talked to her in 2009, she had abandoned atheism and returned to the Catholicism of her youth, committing herself to chronicling the life of Jesus. She told the world she was “called out of darkness," and swore off books about the fashionably undead. But just a year later, her faith fled once again, and the vampires came back. Guest interviewer Mark Oppenheimer finds out what happened. From 2015. Followed by our original 2009 interview, when Rice had just come back to the church.

| From Preacher to Doubter |

As a teenager, Jerry DeWitt was about as fiery a Christian as they come. But slowly, over the course of his 25-year career as a pastor, DeWitt’s beliefs began to burn off until he finally realized he no longer believed in God, or in the infallibility of the Bible. Then he was forced to confront not only the loss of his faith, but the loss of his friends, his wife, and his secular job. From 2013.
