We’ve agreed on the fact that Jesus is a real historical figure, but so far that's it. What else can we know about Jesus? A more complete way to identify him is as Jesus of Nazareth. Nazareth is the place Jesus grew up; it's a real town in Israel that exists to this day. People in Jesus’ day were often identified by their hometown.
Although Jesus lived 2,000 years ago, books are still written and movies are still being made about him. He’s been on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report more than any other person. His followers today compose the largest religion on the planet. Our calendar dates every event from his life on earth.
Jesus’ life was the pivot point of history… in more ways than one.
