Jesus (Greek: Ἰησοῦς (Iesous), Classical Syriaܘܥ
(Isho); 7–2 BC to 30–33 AD), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth, is
the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christiandenominations hold to be the Son of God. Christianity regards Jesus as the
awaited Messiah of the Old Testament and refers to him as Jesus Christ,
a name that is also used in non-Christian contexts. He is also a major figure
in Islam.
Virtually all modern scholars of
antiquity agree that Jesus existed
historically,
although the quest for the
historical Jesus has produced little agreement on the historical
reliability of the Gospels and how closely the biblical Jesus
reflects the historical Jesus.[19] Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish rabbi from Galilee who preached his message orally,[20]
was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified
in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate.[21] Scholars have constructed various portraits of
the historical Jesus,
which often depict him as having one or more of the following roles: the leader
of an apocalyptic movement,
Messiah, a charismatic healer, a sage and philosopher, or an egalitarian social reformer.[22] Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian
historical records to arrive at an estimated chronology of Jesus' life.
The most widely used calendar era in the
world (abbreviated as "AD", alternatively
referred to as "CE"), in which the
current year is 2014, counts from a medieval estimate of the birth year of Jesus.
