Is This What Jesus Really Looked Like?
March 31, 2018
What did Jesus Christ really look like? Historically he has been portrayed as a light-skinned man with wavy brown hair down to his shoulders, with a full beard and moustache. The look has been prominently featured in churches around the world and reinforced in movies like ‘King of Kings’ and ‘The Passion of the Christ,’ as well as hit TV shows like ‘The Bible.’ While the image can be traced back to the 3rd century, Dr. Tom Beaudoin of Fordham University says the depiction is inaccurate.
