Leave it to Fox News to challenge an author’s right to write about a subject. Since when does one have to pass a religion test to be allowed to do scholastic work on a particular religion? To follow this logic would suggest that no Christian could author any commentary about King David or Abraham.
The anchor, Lauren Green, obviously had not read the book. She was rude. She challenged Reza Aslan’s credentials without any reason. She is the one who clearly had a bias.
Zealot: The life and times of Jesus of Nazareth sounds like an interesting read. I am not sure why the host considers spirited debate the correct way to interview guests. What’s wrong with this format? Why would anyone without an agenda even consider going on Faux News? Faux News certainly did a great deal to promote Reza Aslan’s book, albeit unintentional.
It now appears that most of the Fox News hosts consider rudeness and talking over people the order of the day and standard procedure for their broadcast standards.
