Jesus - Son of God


One of the most debated topics of history. 'Jesus'. A word so powerful that it invokes awe in the very utterance. Jesus‘s life, and his teachings has been debated again and again in the annals of history. “Aside from few conclusions, academic studies remain inconclusive about the chronology, the central message of Jesus' preaching, his social class, cultural environment, and religious orientation.” Scholars offer competing descriptions of Jesus as the awaited Messiah, as a self-described Messiah, as the leader of an apocalyptic movement, as an itinerant sage, as a charismatic healer, and as the founder of an independent religious movement. One may be a scholar or a layman, a believer or non-believer, but we have to acknowledge that his impact on world history is undeniable.
