Abstract

The article focuses on exploring the historical and biblical context surrounding the ethnicity and appearance of Jesus, suggesting he likely had darker skin and hair as a Semitic person from the Middle East. It discusses various interpretations from scripture and historical artifacts regarding his appearance, challenging the traditional depiction of a white European Jesus and emphasizing the need to acknowledge his likely ethnicity as a man of color.
