   Many ancient accounts of a persons life give us a hint of the persons physical appearance. For example, the Old Testament tells us that King David was ruddy and handsome. But the New Testament never goes near the question What did Jesus look like? In the Roman catacombs we see our first representations of Jesus. But could they, in Rome, know the an...

The Gospel of Judas gives a positive take on Jesus relationship to Judas Iscariot. D. Moody Smith asks below in Painting a Portrait of Jesus: Did any of these writers give us a clearer answ...

   This strange omission conforms to the New Testament depiction of Jesus generally. We are told little of his personal life or relationships. The one exception is his family. His mother, brothers and sisters figure in the gospel story (Mark 6:16). His brother James, who had not been a follower, evidently claimed to have seen the risen Jesus (1 Corint...

   Of course, any normal Jewish man would have been married. But was Jesus normal, or were the times normal? In fact, it is improbable, on strictly historical grounds, that Jesus was married. Jesus mentor was John the Baptist. The Baptists diet, dress and wilderness venue scarcely befitted a married man (Mark 1:46). Like the Jewish inhabitants of the ...

   Did Christ bring an end to the Mosaic Law?

   • But the mosaics are not divided merely in terms of what they depict. They are also divided in the way they depict Jesus. As many art historians have noted, in the scenes on the left Jesus has light hair, a fair complexion and no facial hair.
