B.A. Dillon asked Lois Lowry:

I absolutely LOVE The Giver Quartet. My book club (made up of teachers) read the entire series this summer. The Giver is required reading for our 8th graders - but Messenger and Son moved me beyond belief. My friend and I wondered if Messenger has a connection to Christianity? We felt the character "Matty" might be loosely based on the life of Jesus. Any truth to that?
