A Professor Of Religion Shares What He Thinks Jesus Really Looks Like
April 09, 2018
Have you ever thought about what Jesus Christ really looks like? I know I do.
Even though we cannot accurately answer the question, “What does Jesus really look like?”, I can’t help but to wonder and try to imagine the facial features He may have. Too bad they did not have cameras during the time He walked around on Earth. Wouldn’t be fun to see some of Jesus’ selfies?

Dr. Tom Beaudoin is challenging the most common perception of Jesus Christ. The most common image that is portrayed by Jesus is a very handsome, light-skinned man. He usually has blue eyes, a full beard, and wavy brunette hair, cascading down his shoulders. This perception of Him can be traced all the way back to the 3rd century. It was inspired by the early Renaissance and has been the most consistent image in Hollywood and in churches.

He imagines Jesus to have darker skin, a short beard, and short hair. That is very different than what we most commonly see. What do you think?
