Paperback. Condition: Good. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the acclaimed author of No god but God comes "a lucid, intelligent page-turner" (Los Angeles Times) that challenges long-held assumptions about Jesus. "Riveting . . . [Reza] Aslan synthesizes Scripture and scholarship to create an original account."--The New Yorker Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher 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 executed as a state criminal. Within decades after his death, his followers would call him God. Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history's most enigmatic figures by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived. Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction. He explores the reasons 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' life and mission.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A twentieth-anniversary edition of the fascinating, accessible introduction to Islam with a new preface and study guide, from the #1 bestselling author of Zealot FINALIST FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD "Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration." --The New York Times Book Review Two decades after its original publication, No god but God remains a landmark work in understanding Islam's rich history and profound impact on the world. This 20th anniversary edition revisits the book that challenged the simplistic "clash of civilizations" narrative and offered a bold, nuanced portrait of a faith rooted in justice, equality, and compassion. In this modern classic, Reza Aslan traces Islam's origins, from the revelations of Muhammad in Mecca and Medina to how the Prophet's vision of a radically egalitarian community was shaped, challenged, and interpreted by generations of Muslims, resulting in a faith of remarkable diversity and resilience. Moving through history to the modern era, Aslan confronts the politicization of Islam, the rise of extremist ideologies, and the pervasive Islamophobia that has distorted the religion's image, particularly in the post-9/11 world. Fully revised and with a new preface and study guide, this edition connects Aslan's timeless insights to the profound changes shaping Islam today--from the emergence of a global digital community to the ongoing struggles between tradition and modernity. Accessible yet deeply researched, No god but God remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the past, present, and future of Islam.…
