雷薩·阿斯蘭(Reza Aslan)
伊朗裔美國作傢。齣生於伊朗,從小跟隨傢庭傳統信奉伊斯蘭教。移民美國後,他參加瞭福音青年營,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閤理之處;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,重迴伊斯蘭教的懷抱。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,如今他更信從耶穌瞭,隻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。

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.

作者的話 十五歲那年,我發現瞭耶穌。 高一夏天,我參加瞭北加州的福音青年營。那裡有茂密的森林,一望無際的藍天,如果時間充裕,加上平靜的生活與溫暖的鼓勵,很難不感受到上帝的呼喚。依傍著人工開鑿的湖泊與高聳挺拔的鬆林,我與朋友歌唱、遊戲、交換祕密。我們擺脫...
評分這本書究竟算什麼呢,是曆史批判還是文本批判,在我看來更多像是曆史演義。前72頁全是講曆史背景,N次猶太人起義,羅馬帝國鎮壓,什麼的,繪聲繪色,有如曆史小說。後麵呢,基本就是把福音書的故事挑著撿著講瞭一遍,是paraphrase攢成的故事。敘事比較淩亂,也沒有什麼自己的觀...

雖然類似的研究有過不少,說曆史上的耶穌是個猶太民族主義革命傢並不標新立異,但寫的這麼好看真的很難得,後來一查原來作者是MFA寫作班齣來的。(不知道為什麼大傢都拿他的穆斯林傢庭說事。。。豆瓣頁麵上的某書評語氣太惡劣
