Only Begotten Daughter

Loved this book. I also loved Morrow's later "Towing Jehovah", which I read back in the '90s, before I was writing reviews. This one postulates a modern day messiah. This one, though, is a woman, a half-sister to Jesus. She is destined to battle the devil as well as the Neo-Christians who are trying to bring about the second coming. It's a satirical look at religious extremism and reflects on the question that if Jesus came back, would we recognize him, or anyone divine. This book, as well as "Towing Jehovah" won World Fantasy Awards, with "Daughter" winning for 1991, and both were nominated for a slew of others.
