Jesus Christ is one of history’s most influential figures, shaping cultures, ethics, and spirituality worldwide.

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.
