Description:

Jesus, a Jewish preacher in Roman-occupied Judea, taught a message of love, forgiveness, and salvation. His followers believed he was the Messiah and Son of God.

The New Testament recorded his life and message, distinguishing Christianity from Judaism while retaining shared scriptures and moral teachings.

Jesus was born between 4 and 6 BCE, likely in Bethlehem, during the reign of Herod the Great. Raised in Nazareth, he began his public ministry around 27–29 CE, preaching a message of love, repentance, and salvation in Roman-occupied Judea. His teachings attracted a diverse following and challenged both religious and political authorities. Around 30–33 CE, Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. His followers believed he rose from the dead, and this belief became the foundation of Christianity. The New Testament recorded his life and message, distinguishing Christianity from Judaism while retaining shared scriptures and moral teachings
