Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
by Reza Aslan
Excellent depiction of the Jesus period: the political turmoils, sentiments of the people and conditions of the common Jew. Packed with information that fills the gaps in the New Testament. Without these info the NT seems quite 'flat'.
Now wearing the goggles that lets us see in the light of the above environment, the character Jesus does seem different from the Christ as propagated by Paul.
However, the name 'Zealot' still doesn't seem to (perfectly) fit.
