Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth [View all]

by Reza Aslan. The one with the FOX news interview where he has to remind the woman interviewing him that he did indeed "go to college" and knows what he's talking about.

I really liked it! My family was not a church-going family growing up and before reading this I knew pretty much nothing about Jesus, either the man or the myth, nor much about that period of time in general.

Has anyone more informed about this part of history read it? What did you think?
