Hey,
Just to throw in my two cents, I'm a highly religious person who very much
enjoys Brendan's work. He is being fairly true to the text*. So a view of
the impact of his work really rests on your view of the underlying text. If
you are a person who holds up this text as divine revelation, then anything
pointing to that text is a good thing. If you find the text to be
ridiculous, then anything that shines a light on the text heightens the
ridicule.
But then, I also loved the Simpsons episode where they retold Bible stories
using the Simpsons, and Life of Brian, and the Last Temptation of Christ
(though the book is infinitely better and deeper than the movie), etc etc
etc, so I suppose some people within religious circles would look askance at
my opinions on the matter.

interpretation, though his interpretation has not been without merit, and a
couple of stories where I wish he had gone a few versed more.
