Based on the articles, I don't think that's the case. She is admittedly taking the liberty of filling in the complete blank that is Jesus' childhood, but she claims to be doing it in an attempt to make people “think, ‘Wow, maybe he did exist.’"
After a religious re-awakening, she says she came to the conclusion that, "‘From now on it’s all going to be for [God].’ And the book I felt I had to write was the life of Christ. … When my faith was given back to me by God, redemption became a part of the world in which I lived. And I wasn’t going to write any more books where that wasn’t the case. You do not have to be transgressive in order to achieve great art.”
