Reza Aslan

RE: Reza Aslan
No, I have not read it but I have read reviews. Offhand, it suffers from the same problem as all the other attempts to downgrade the godboy. That is, we have only one story: Gospel of mark. All the others are derivatives of it with additional plots invented by later authors. Mark tells a story of a miracle working son of a bit...um, god. Aslan...as well as Ehrman and many others are trying to write their own gospel by removing the stuff which seems too dumb for modern tastes and creating their own figure to meet the legends.

It does not work. You can't take the dumb out of the gospels. If you do there is little left.
