Read the book Zealot by Reza Aslan. Great take on who Jesus was. Spoiler…


He was a Jewish zealot, a rebel against Rome and the Romans’ local agents, who included the Jewish aristocracy and priesthood. He was a disciple of John the Baptist until John’s arrest. Like John, Jesus preached the imminent arrival of the kingdom of God, which would be an earthly, political state ruled by God or his anointed, a messiah. Jesus never intended to found a church, much less a new religion. He was loyal to the law of Moses as he interpreted it.
