Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth by Reza Aslan

This is the second book by Reza Aslan that I've read.

I was never very fond of books related to religion but his books are more than the religious books. These books are myth breakers.

This book tells the story of who the Jesus was and the Jesus which we hear about these days in the sermons is the same person who actually started it all.

The book gives a lot of examples from the scripts and letters of the era around which the Christianity evolved and I must say that it is a very well thought and explored narrative on the topic.

I really don't want to get into the debate around the credibility of the whole narrative but I'll really love to see that people agree to disagree and respect the freedom of thoughts.

The books raises very basic questions and justify the whole narrative in a very rational manner.

Must read whether you like religious books or not.

-Peace.

No god but God by Reza Aslan

I'm not really fond of books on religion but this is definitely an exception and the first words are I LOVE THIS BOOK.

The book is about the history, evolution and future of Islam and I must say that it so unbiased and well searched.

Reza Aslan gives a fine print of how the Islam started and later on what were the circumstances that mold it into its current form. He has given a lot of examples about the Islam being the most tolerant religion as founded but the followers and the interpreters twisted all the words of Muhammad Saahab to what fulfills their own interest in the name of God's words.

I can't give the much details here but if you want to know about Isalm this one is a must read.

This book has really made me curious to know more about all the religions. Hope some more will be following soon.
