No. But I read God, A Biography by Jack Miles, ~20 years ago.
It was great.

Looks fascinating...but, OTOH, Who wants to read more about the history of the three most prevalent death cults when there are so many other traditions that are interesting to look at?

I read it a long time ago. It was an interesting read. Pretty much a COEXIST bumper sticker by someone deep into ecumenicalism from an RC perspective. Definitely written in a more innocent time.
