The History Book Club at the Prospect Heights Public Library will carry on a discussion of the "Zealot: the Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" by Reza Aslan. The review of the book in Publisher Weekly reads, "Carefully comparing extra-biblical historical records with the New Testament accounts, Aslan develops a convincing and coherent story of how the Christian church, and in particular Paul, reshaped Christianity's essence, obscuring the very real man who was Jesus of Nazareth. Compulsively readable and written at a popular level, this superb work is highly recommended."

The discussion will be moderated by John McCarthy, Professor of Theology at Loyola University. The book is available at the Circulation desk of the Prospect Heights Library. Please join us on Wednesday, June 10 at 7:30 PM. For more information please call 847-259-3500
