Reza Aslan

Reza Aslan earned a master’s degree in theological studies at Harvard University. Aslan’s first book, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, became a bestseller and led to appearances on NPR’s All Things Considered, NBC’s Meet the Press, and ABC’s Nightline. Aslan has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and the Nation. He is a doctoral candidate at the University of California, but he has set aside his studies to focus on his next two books.
