“Zealot,” which portrayed Jesus not as a divine being but as an angry rebel, had already hit bestseller lists before an interview Aslan did with Fox News made him a viral video star. Now Aslan is ending his wild year with a movie deal for “Zealot” as well as writing a pilot for cable TV network FX, running the “transmedia” company Boomgen Studios, working on a novel - and trying to craft the next episode in his unorthodox life as an Internet-era public intellectual. In the summer, he published the book “Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth” and everything changed. Reza Aslan began 2013 as an academic teaching creative writing at UC Riverside.
