Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
by Reza Aslan
What, that's it? The trouble of reading on kindle is that it's difficult to know where the book itself ends and the notes take over. I'm not usually one to read notes and today will be no exception. So the book ended a lot sooner than I had expected and I feel a little bit cheated. I would have liked more.
This book does an excellent job of separating Jesus the Nazarean from Jesus the Christ. It's sets Jesus the Nazarean in a historical context I was only vaguely aware of. It also explains the hows and whys of Jesus Christ as presented in the New Testament. I am sure this distinction would be blashphemous to some, but the dicthomy is quite fascinating and the historical Jesus no less interesting than Christ.
This was a very good read about well - the most influential person of the past couple of millenia. Definitely worth reading, regardless of your religious inclinations. Although I do realize that people belonging to more extreme factions of Christianity might find the content hard to swallow.
