"The Significance of Jesus' Racial Identity in Today's World"

The question of Jesus' skin color is gaining significance, with many scholars suggesting he was likely a brown-skinned, brown-eyed man, challenging traditional depictions of a White Jesus. The debate over Jesus' color is relevant due to a movement to replace the White Jesus in churches and the association of White Christian nationalism with the traditional image. Some argue that Jesus' color matters for historical and social justice reasons, while others believe his message transcends physical appearance. The discussion reflects a broader societal conversation about race, identity, and the portrayal of historical figures.
