Zealot

The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth
Jul 16, 2015evelinatx rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
An eye-opening, mind-expanding book. For those who have been relying to understand Jesus through sermons and Bible studies, it offers a refreshing dose of historical context. The edge is twofold, however. On one hand, the things Jesus says and events in the Bible start making much more sense. On the other, the possibility of losing the traditional Sunday-school understanding of him/Him becomes extremely real. One of the reviewers said that the faith of believers may not be shaken much by this book. I disagree. But shouldn't we all seek to know more, not less, about God?
