I was going through my phone and I found this passage. I think what struck me was that Jesus is proving that no one is unworthy of coming before God. No one. I wish more churches taught that. #books #rezaaslan #christ #goodbooks
I find this passage SO beautiful. As a Catholic, I believe in Jesus as Christ, but I also know that He was as human as He was divine. He was a man who wanted His home and His people free of the tyranny of outside forces, and who was not always peaceful, who did not always operate within the Law. And it's this dichotomy, this concept of human and divine, that I will always find fascinating. #rezaaslan #zealot
I'm Catholic. I have 20 years of education in Catholic schools behind me, and a minor in Theology. I love my church. But this is fascinating, and I'm thoroughly engaged. Aslan's writing is crisp and quick, and reveals the historical Jesus without ever feeling like it's an attack on the beliefs of the Christian community. #zealot #rezaaslan
