雷薩·阿斯蘭(Reza Aslan)
伊朗裔美國作家。出生於伊朗,從小跟隨家庭傳統信奉伊斯蘭教。移民美國後,他參加了福音青年營,深受上帝吸引,改信基督教。但在鑽研聖經時,他發現其中有許多矛盾與不合理之處;上大學研讀宗教史之後,對聖經更加質疑。他因此拋棄基督教信仰,重回伊斯蘭教的懷抱。隨後他轉以學者的身分研究耶穌,在經過二十年的嚴謹研究之後,如今他更信從耶穌了,只不過他信仰的是身為凡人的拿撒勒人耶穌,而非做為神的基督耶穌。
阿斯蘭目前為加州大學河濱分校創意寫作系及宗教系合聘助理教授,長期關注宗教史,擁有哈佛大學神學碩士學位、加州大學聖塔克拉拉分校宗教社會學博士學位以及愛荷華州大學美術系碩士學位。

这本书究竟算什么呢,是历史批判还是文本批判,在我看来更多像是历史演义。前72页全是讲历史背景,N次犹太人起义,罗马帝国镇压,什么的,绘声绘色,有如历史小说。后面呢,基本就是把福音书的故事挑着捡着讲了一遍,是paraphrase攒成的故事。叙事比较凌乱,也没有什么自己的观...

From the internationally bestselling author of No god but God comes a fascinating, provocative, and meticulously researched biography that challenges long-held assumptions about the man we know as Jesus of Nazareth.
Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher and miracle worker walked across the Galilee, gathering followers to establish what he called the “Kingdom of God.” The revolutionary movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was captured, tortured, and executed as a state criminal.
Within decades after his shameful death, his followers would call him God.
Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history’s most influential and enigmatic characters by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived: first-century Palestine, an age awash in apocalyptic fervor. Scores of Jewish prophets, preachers, and would-be messiahs wandered through the Holy Land, bearing messages from God. This was the age of zealotry—a fervent nationalism that made resistance to the Roman occupation a sacred duty incumbent on all Jews. And few figures better exemplified this principle than the charismatic Galilean who defied both the imperial authorities and their allies in the Jewish religious hierarchy.
Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction; a man of peace who exhorted his followers to arm themselves with swords; an exorcist and faith healer who urged his disciples to keep his identity a secret; and ultimately the seditious “King of the Jews” whose promise of liberation from Rome went unfulfilled in his brief lifetime. Aslan explores the reasons why the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about his divinity.
Zealot yields a fresh perspective on one of the greatest stories ever told even as it affirms the radical and transformative nature of Jesus of Nazareth’s life and mission. The result is a thought-provoking, elegantly written biography with the pulse of a fast-paced novel: a singularly brilliant portrait of a man, a time, and the birth of a religion.
虽然类似的研究有过不少,说历史上的耶稣是个犹太民族主义革命家并不标新立异,但写的这么好看真的很难得,后来一查原来作者是MFA写作班出来的。(不知道为什么大家都拿他的穆斯林家庭说事。。。豆瓣页面上的某书评语气太恶劣
评分原来耶稣是愤青!????
评分哈哈哈奋锐党人耶稣
评分第一次看到有人试图剥离成形的基督教框架,从有限的史料中还原一个真实的耶稣——犹太人耶稣,以重建神的国度为理想,并因此被罗马人处死的耶稣。我不敢说他的推测完全可信,但至少这是一次严肃而透彻的尝试,也解释了我读新约以来一直有的疑惑:为什么保罗让我讨厌,他在新约中的分量却如此之重。如果要用一句话总结这本书,那就是:耶稣是一个伟大的人也值得跟随,但新约里都是骗人的。
