Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was an intriguing book. I’ve read the Bible but this is an historical account of the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
As a Christian that hasn’t done much study about the history of Biblical times, I found that the author did a good job of describing the evolution of the Christian church, the Roman Empire and the Jewish peoples of that time.
The book was thought provoking and I stopped many times to discuss different ideas that were presented with my husband who is a better student of history than I.
If a book about the history of anything can keep my attention, and this one did, it’s a good book.
