"Back in 2002 a forensic artist used Semite skulls found in Israel to reconstruct the face and head of what a first-century male from Palestine would most probably have looked like."
Paul Alexander from Evangelicals for Social Action challenges us to put a picture of this Jesus up in our churches:
Their goal is to have one million churches with this picture on display.
What do you think? How would people at your church respond? Personally, I'd like to see a slightly friendlier looking version of the forensic Jesus instead of the slightly stunned version that the scientists drew up.
How do you feel about referring to the typical pictures of Jesus as the "European Jesus"?
Forward this post or the link to the full article to your pastor, and ask them to consider adding forensic Jesus to the church walls...
Read the whole article here. They also have a higher resolution version of the picture available there.
