Zelota by Reza Aslan
The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
A lively, revisionist biography that reconstructs the life of Jesus as a Jewish political figure shaped by the violent, occupied world of first-century Palestine; it places his teachings and actions in the context of Roman rule and Jewish messianic expectations, reads the Gospel accounts critically as historical sources, and argues that the crucifixion was fundamentally a political execution while later Christian theology transformed his image into a spiritual savior.
