A historian's view, eh?

Professor of creative writing at the University of California Riverside, Aslan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in religions from Santa Clara University, a Master of Theological Studies degree from Harvard Divinity School, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa's Writers' Workshop, where he was named the Truman Capote Fellow in Fiction. Aslan also received a Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology.

Don't fool yourself - this is not a work of history. It's the work of a professional creative writer and former born-again Christian who has studied religion and religious figures - whether based on fact or not.

This book is storytelling to make money and has as much value as a work of history as does The Da Vinci Code.
