Pictured above is modern-day Nazareth. The man who would one day be worshipped as Jesus Christ was born in Nazareth around 7-2 B.C., which at the time was a small mountain village.

Reza Aslan's latest book "Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth" challenges long held assumptions of the historical figure.   Host Ben Kieffer speaks to Aslan about the historical Jesus as well as Aslan's own faith journey.
