Reza, the son of immigrants who fled Iran during the late ’70s revolution, spent most of his childhood in the San Francisco Bay Area. He holds several degrees, including a BA in religious studies from Santa Clara University, an MTS degree from Harvard Divinity School, an MFA degree from the University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop, and a PhD in sociology of religions from the University of California, Santa Barbara. In the ’90s, he taught various courses at De La Salle High School in Concord, California.

Despite authoring five books, only “No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam” and “Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth” achieved international best-seller status. The latter’s sales were significantly boosted by the viral video clip of his interview with Chief Religion Correspondent, Lauren Green, on the Fox News webcast “Spirited Debate” in 2013.

Reza is frequently sought after for his insights on news-related TV programs, especially on Islamic religious and Muslim state issues.

In October 2014, Reza made headlines again with his New York Times article, “Bill Maher Isn’t the Only One Who Misunderstands Religion,” focusing on the unfair characterization of female genital mutilation as an “Islamic problem.” He also contributes to notable publications such as the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, The Nation, The Washington Post, Slate, The Guardian, and The Christian Science Monitor.

Before marrying entrepreneur Jessica Jackley, Reza was engaged to journalist Amanda Fortini. They ended their engagement in 2008. Reza and Jessica have three sons and are raising them in an interfaith family. His aunt, Leila Forouhar, is a well-known pop singer.
