The term "Historical Jesus" refers to the study of Jesus of Nazareth as a figure in history, distinct from religious interpretations. Scholars analyze texts, archaeological evidence, and cultural context to understand his life, teachings, and the events surrounding his crucifixion around 30-33 CE. This approach seeks to reconstruct the life of Jesus based on historical methods, often focusing on his role within Judaism and the Roman Empire. It aims to separate the theological aspects of Jesus from the historical facts, providing insights into his influence on Christianity and the broader world.
