Excerpt

SUMMARY:  In his new book, "Zealot:  The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth," author and scholar Reza Aslan sets out to dig through generations of interpretation to get to know Jesus, the real, historical figure and the world he lived in.  Aslan sits down with Ray Suarez to discuss his research and why he wanted to write the book.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
"Zealot:  The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth"  prophet?  sun of god?  why did you write (it)?
  • "Deep sense of respect for Christianity"
  • Dig thru layers of interpretation to get to know Jesus better (as an Evangelical) Iranian American
