Beskrivning
Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history’s most influential and enigmatic figures by examining Jesus within the context of the times in which he lived: the age of zealotry, an era awash in apocalyptic fervour.Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against historical sources,  Aslan describes a complex figure: a man of peace who exhorted his followers to arm themselves; an exorcist and faith healer who urged his disciples to keep his identity secret; and the seditious ‘King of the Jews’, whose promise of liberation from Rome went unfulfilled in his lifetime. Aslan explores why the early Church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary, and grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself.Zealot provides a fresh perspective on one of the greatest stories ever told. The result is a thought-provoking, elegantly written biography with the pulse of a fast-paced novel, and a singularly brilliant portrait of a man, a time and the birth of a religion.

  1. 5/5 Norbert B

    Gav mig ett helt nytt perspektiv på Jesus, Jesus-myten och kristendomens utveckling. Den historiska kontexten i vilken Jesus levde och som Aslan beskriver är i alla fall ny för mig. Bra skrivet rakt igenom. Kan varmt rekommendera boken.

  2. 5/5 Leowald

    Informativt att läsa om Jesus utifrån ett historiskt perspektiv. Perspektivet från tidigare religionsundervisning kompletteras med denna bok. Rekommenderar denna bok.
