Cultural and historical background of Jesus

It focuses specifically on the background to Jesus within the context of the historical and cultural context, both of that period and leading up to it, as relevant to a better understanding and interpretation of acts and events ascribed to his life and lifetime.

Aramaic of Jesus
It is generally accepted that Aramaic was the mother tongue of Jesus of Nazareth. This article explores Aramaic reconstructions of phrases in the New Testament as attributed to Jesus and New Testament figures.

Race of Jesus
The race of Jesus has been a subject of debate since at least the 19th century. The physical appearance of Jesus of Nazareth, though with no explicit emphasis on race, was also debated by theologians from early on in the history of Christianity. Different societies have depicted Jesus and most other biblical figures as their own ethnicity in their art, for example he is primarily white in the West, and black in Africa. Such representations are not, in the modern day, usually intended to be historically accurate. The current dominant opinion among secular historians and scientists is that he was most likely a bronze-skinned man, resembling modern-day persons of Middle Eastern descent. Others, however, have suggested other possible racial backgrounds, including African and Indian ones. For orthodox Christians the question is complicated by the belief that his birth was a unique miracle, an "incarnation in flesh of divine substance."
