Our book for May is Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslam. The discussion will take place Saturday, May 16, 2020 at 2:30 pm via the Zoom Platform (see below).


>From Amazon:
Siftingthrough centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history’smost enigmatic figures by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuousera in which he lived. Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historicalsources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife withcontradiction. He explores the reasons the early Christian church preferred topromulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than apolitically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of howJesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequentclaims about his divinity. “A specialand revealing work, one that believer and skeptic alike will find surprising,engaging, and original.” – Jon Meacham,author of Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power
