In his 2013 book Zealot, Reza Aslan lays out the case for Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) as revolutionary.

For Aslan, Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) was a highly political and even eschatological figure.

Aslan’s Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) seeks to be a traditional Messiah within Judaism and overthrow the Roman Empire in the Holy Land.

Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) goes into the Sanhedrin, the centre of Jewish-Roman government, and attacks the money changers. A highly political act.

He is crucified as a bandit, which then meant revolutionary or insurrectionist.

Zealot makes the case for a Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) above and beyond the “meek and mild” persona that modern Trinitarians would have you believe in.

In this work Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) is a political figure who must be approached as such.
