Aslan now identifies as Muslim, right?
When I watched the interview last night I thought I heard him refer to himself as an Evangelical.
I've read quite a few books about the historical Jesus over the past 20 years. The concept of him being a political zealot [he was obviously a religious zealot] is a common theme in many of them. This really isn't a new idea at all. I did enjoy the discussion, but I didn't think, from the brief interview on The Daily Show, that Azlan was adding anything new to the study of the historical Jesus; it can be found in many other books
