Jesus

About topic

Jesus Christ is one of history’s most influential figures, shaping cultures, ethics, and spirituality worldwide. Revered by Christians as the Son of God and Saviour, He is also recognised as a prophet in Islam and a moral teacher by many non-religious individuals. Interest in Jesus remains high: a 2021 YouGov poll found that over 50% of people in the UK were curious about His teachings, and a 2022 Barna study reported that 40% of non-Christians in the US express curiosity about His life. Jesus’s message of love, forgiveness, and justice continues to resonate across cultures and belief systems.
