Historical Jesus Research is the academic study of the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth using historical methods. Scholars analyze ancient texts, archaeological findings, and cultural contexts to understand who Jesus was and what he represented in his time. This research often distinguishes between the historical figure and the theological interpretations found in Christianity. The field encompasses various approaches, including textual criticism and socio-historical analysis. Researchers aim to reconstruct the historical context of 1st-century Judea and explore how Jesus' actions and messages were influenced by the political and religious landscape of the era. This helps to provide a clearer picture of his impact on history.
