Reza Aslan, author of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth<\/a>, went on Reddit today<\/a>\u00a0and answered questions for almost two hours about his book, Christianity, and Islam. What does he think about reading holy texts as historical texts? \u00a0Were you surprised by Lauren Green\u2019s questions on Fox? What is the fundamental difference between Abrahamic religions that prevents peaceful interaction? \u00a0Is there any hard evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really existed? \u00a0How do Muslims view Jesus?<\/p>\n

I copied some of the questions and answers into a Google document that you can find here<\/a>. \u00a0I think some of Aslan\u2019s responses are worth sharing with my religions class.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
