Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ (between 8 and 4 bc-ad
29?), the central figure of Christianity,
born in Bethlehem in Judea. The chronology of
the Christian era is reckoned from a 6th-century
dating of the year of his birth, which is now
recognized as being from four to eight years in
error. Christians traditionally regard Jesus as
the incarnate Son of God, and as having been
divinely conceived by Mary, the wife of Joseph,
a carpenter of Nazareth. The name Jesus is
derived from a Greek rendering of the Hebrew
name Joshua, or in full Yehoshuah (Yahweh is
deliverance). The title Christ is derived from
the Greek christos, a translation of the
Hebrew mashiakh (anointed one), or
Messiah. “Christ” was used by Jesus' early
followers, who regarded him as the promised
deliverer of Israel and later was made part of
Jesus' proper name by the church, which regards
him as the redeemer of all humanity.
The principal sources of information concerning
Jesus' life are the Gospels, written in the
latter half of the 1st century as the generation
that had known Jesus firsthand began to die. The
Epistles of Saint Paul and the Acts of the
Apostles also contain information about Jesus.
The scantiness of additional source material and
the theological nature of biblical records
caused some 19th-century biblical scholars to
doubt his historical existence. Others,
interpreting the available sources in a variety
of ways, produced biographies of Jesus in which
his life was purged of all supernatural
elements. Today, scholars generally agree that
Jesus was a historical figure whose existence is
authenticated both by Christian writers and by
several Roman and Jewish historians.
