Historical Jesus

The Historical Jesus refers to the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth based on historical research, accounts, and evidence outside of religious texts. Scholars try to understand who he was, what he believed, and his influence within 1st-century context. While religious beliefs about Jesus focus on his divine nature, historians mainly examine his role as a Jewish preacher and social figure in Roman-occupied Judea. The goal is to distinguish historical facts from theological interpretations, offering a clearer picture of his historical existence and the impact he had on culture and history.
