Host reza aslan company probably rocks the world comes the christian world with zealot the life and times of jesus of nazareth. But you do right this in your book. He said the most obvious reason not to dismiss the disciples resurrection experiences out of hand at the cell messiahs before and after them. It was precisely the fervor with which the followers believed in the resurrection that performed this time is that into the largest religion.
