Thought you might "enjoy" this. Faux News fails to understand how academic research works. No surprise there.
All ready been all overit. He holds 2 PhDs (one in theology, one in religious sociology, i think) and 2 masters. all in/around the area of ancient "new" religions (the churches popping up all over the place from 200BCE to 200 CE.)
but he's a MUSLIM. and they cannot be scholars about anything.
I wonder how many Christians have written about Islam?
I mentioned in the Bar that I was interested in this book... now I definitely want to read it.
Paradoxically, given the kerfuffle at Fox News, there is a brief extract from the book on the Fox News website http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/07/25/read-excerpt-from-zealot-life-and-times-jesus-nazareth/
