Ideas good, book slow and repetitive

What disappointed you about Eternal Life?
Much of the book is a careful and EXTREMELY thorough examination of problems with taking a literal/concrete approach to understanding the Bible and Christian religion. I enjoyed many of the sections in which Spong talked about his own spiritual journey from fundamentalism to where he is now. His discussion of the journey of humanity in understanding life, the world/universe, and God was interesting and good for provoking discussion, but also full of sweeping over-generalizations and interpretations presented as facts. His big conclusions were fine, but not anything new really, and not very well developed.

From the internationally bestselling author of No god but God comes a fascinating, provocative, and meticulously researched biography that challenges long-held assumptions about the man we know as Jesus of Nazareth. Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history's most influential and enigmatic characters by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived: first-century Palestine, an age awash in apocalyptic fervor.

Depiction of historical context descriptive/lively
Revisado: 12-20-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only if they wanted to read well done descriptions of historical context/events/places. This was the best part of the book. I felt like I was there! I found the author's interpretation of Jesus' beliefs/message to be less well developed and somewhat confusing.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
The author gives us his interpretation of Jesus, argues for the accuracy of his point of view on who Jesus was using a lot of scholarly material. At the end he says that he is inspired by the Jesus he depicts and wishes to follow him. I just wasn't sure what this would mean. What does it mean to Aslan to follow this Jesus he describes? How would he apply his scholarly insights to his faith? How does Aslan see all this as relating to our lives/faith today?
Have you listened to any of Reza Aslan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Could you see Zealot being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
yes, but no idea who
