Paperback. Condition: Good. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * From the acclaimed author of No god but God comes "a lucid, intelligent page-turner" (Los Angeles Times) that challenges long-held assumptions about Jesus. "Riveting . . . [Reza] Aslan synthesizes Scripture and scholarship to create an original account."--The New Yorker Two thousand years ago, an itinerant Jewish preacher walked across the Galilee, gathering followers to establish what he called the "Kingdom of God." The revolutionary movement he launched was so threatening to the established order that he was executed as a state criminal. Within decades after his death, his followers would call him God. Sifting through centuries of mythmaking, Reza Aslan sheds new light on one of history's most enigmatic figures by examining Jesus through the lens of the tumultuous era in which he lived. Balancing the Jesus of the Gospels against the historical sources, Aslan describes a man full of conviction and passion, yet rife with contradiction. He explores the reasons the early Christian church preferred to promulgate an image of Jesus as a peaceful spiritual teacher rather than a politically conscious revolutionary. And he grapples with the riddle of how Jesus understood himself, the mystery that is at the heart of all subsequent claims about his divinity. Zealot yields a fresh perspective on one of the greatest stories ever told even as it affirms the radical and transformative nature of Jesus' life and mission.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Little known in America but venerated as a martyr in Iran, Howard Baskerville was a twenty-two-year-old Christian missionary from South Dakota who traveled to Persia (modern-day Iran) in 1907 for a two-year stint teaching English and preaching the gospel. He arrived in the midst of a democratic revolution?the first of its kind in the Middle East?led by a group of brilliant young firebrands committed to transforming their country into a fully self-determining, constitutional monarchy, one with free elections and an independent parliament. The Persian students Baskerville educated in English in turn educated him about their struggle for democracy, ultimately inspiring him to leave his teaching post and join them in their fight against a tyrannical shah and his British and Russian backers. ?The only difference between me and these people is the place of my birth," Baskerville declared, ?and that is not a big difference.? In 1909, Baskerville was killed in battle alongside his students, but his martyrdom spurred on the revolutionaries who succeeded in removing the shah from power, signing a new constitution, and rebuilding parliament in Tehran. To this day, Baskerville?s tomb in the city of Tabriz remains a place of pilgrimage. Every year, thousands of Iranians visit his grave to honor the American who gave his life for Iran. In this rip-roaring tale of his life and death, Aslan gives us a powerful parable about the universal ideals of democracy?and to what degree Americans are willing to support those ideals in a foreign land. Woven throughout is an essential history of the nation we now know as Iran?frequently demonized and misunderstood in the West. Indeed, Baskerville?s life and death represent a ?road not taken? in Iran. Baskerville?s story, like his life, is at the center of a whirlwind in which Americans must ask themselves: How seriously do we take our ideals of constitutional democracy and whose freedom do we support.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. A twentieth-anniversary edition of the fascinating, accessible introduction to Islam with a new preface and study guide, from the #1 bestselling author of Zealot FINALIST FOR THE GUARDIAN FIRST BOOK AWARD "Wise and passionate . . . an incisive, scholarly primer in Muslim history and an engaging personal exploration." --The New York Times Book Review Two decades after its original publication, No god but God remains a landmark work in understanding Islam's rich history and profound impact on the world. This 20th anniversary edition revisits the book that challenged the simplistic "clash of civilizations" narrative and offered a bold, nuanced portrait of a faith rooted in justice, equality, and compassion. In this modern classic, Reza Aslan traces Islam's origins, from the revelations of Muhammad in Mecca and Medina to how the Prophet's vision of a radically egalitarian community was shaped, challenged, and interpreted by generations of Muslims, resulting in a faith of remarkable diversity and resilience. Moving through history to the modern era, Aslan confronts the politicization of Islam, the rise of extremist ideologies, and the pervasive Islamophobia that has distorted the religion's image, particularly in the post-9/11 world. Fully revised and with a new preface and study guide, this edition connects Aslan's timeless insights to the profound changes shaping Islam today--from the emergence of a global digital community to the ongoing struggles between tradition and modernity. Accessible yet deeply researched, No god but God remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand the past, present, and future of Islam.…

"A very persuasive argument for the best way to counter jihadism" (The Washington Post) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Zealot and host of Believer "[A] thoughtful analysis of America's War on Terror."--The New Yorker The wars in the Middle East have become religious wars in which God is believed to be directly engaged on behalf of one side against the other. The hijackers who attacked America on September 11, 2001, thought they were fighting in the name of God. According to award-winning writer and scholar of religions Reza Aslan, the United States, by infusing the War on Terror with its own religiously polarizing rhetoric, is fighting a similar war--a war that can't be won. Beyond Fundamentalism is both an in-depth study of the ideology fueling militants throughout the Muslim world and an exploration of religious violence in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. At a time when religion and politics increasingly share the same vocabulary and function in the same sphere, Aslan writes that we must strip the conflicts of our world of their religious connotations and address the earthly grievances that always lie at its root. How do you win a religious war? By refusing to fight in one. Originally published as How to Win a Cosmic War.…
