About this title

Synopsis

What would you do if you had the chance to hang out with Jesus Christ for twenty-four hours in the present day?

What questions would you ask him? The meaning of life? What happens after you die? Did God really write a book?

That's the situation the narrator of The Interview found himself in. Christ comes back to earth for twenty-four hours to be interviewed so that he can 'set the record straight' about all the claims and beliefs that have gone on in his name over the past two thousand years. Compelling, controversial, and at times irreverent, the narrator, Rog, interviews Christ about the big questions in life. At various times during the interview, he is transported back to first-century Palestine so that Christ can show him what really happened back in the day.

The result is a startling journey into the very mind of God.

About the Author

Roger Spielmann is a professor of linguistics at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Author of two award-winning non-fiction books (You’re So Fat! and Anishnaabe World), Dr. Spielmann has a B.A. in Biblical Literature and studied Greek and Hebrew. Once considered a darling of the evangelical Christian world, his journey took him away from organized religion, a change influenced by his study of the Bible in the original languages and his personal experience as a Christian. He became convinced that very few Christians really knew why they believed what they believed. His debut novel, The Interview, is designed to challenge what Christians believe about the Bible, the character of God, and the message proclaimed by Jesus of Nazareth two thousand years ago. This story is for doubters and wanderers, the spiritual but not religious, who want to know who Jesus Christ really was and what he taught. The Interview strips away the theological layers that have distorted the real message of Christ—the Kingdom of God. The author grew up in Chicago and has three beautiful daughters: Jennifer, Melissa, and Stephanie, along with five pretty cool grandkids.
