Synopsis What Did Jesus Look Like? by : Joan E. Taylor
Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Synopsis What Does Your Jesus Look Like? by : Scott Stearman
Working as a sculptor, Scott's studio is a quiet space where there is lots of room to consider new ideas. In this quietness, he began to feel an urgency about us, our Christ-following. How we do it. So he started to write down his thoughts. The ways that followers of Christ navigate life, relationships, jobs, stress, joy and sorrow tells those around us so much more about Jesus than our words will ever say. "What Does Your Jesus Look Like?" is book to which you will return often. Compelling stories and beautiful images will point you to one big central idea. Christ loves the world. We are his representatives. How the world sees Christ is often through the filter of how they see us. So, how are you doing? What does your Jesus look like? In these pages are some things Scott has heard and considered while molding clay in his studio. This book will prompt you to consider your journey and consider the character of Jesus. We are all sculpting His image with our lives, carefully living our faith before a watching humanity who are desperate for a glimpse of the divine.

Synopsis A Portrait of Christ by : D. Patrick Ramsey
What is Jesus like? What kind of a person is he? Is he emotional or stoic? Is he proud or humble? Is he aloof or friendly? This book attempts to answer these types of questions. After demonstrating that Jesus is the promised Christ and that he is both divine and human, this book examines Jesus' personal characteristics as they are displayed in the four Gospels. The four Gospels are clearly not a typical biography of Jesus. Nonetheless, they do provide an informative account of his life here on earth, from which we can discover what he is like as a person.

Synopsis The Color of Christ by : Edward J. Blum
How is it that in America the image of Jesus Christ has been used both to justify the atrocities of white supremacy and to inspire the righteousness of civil rights crusades? In The Color of Christ, Edward J. Blum and Paul Harvey weave a tapestry of American dreams and visions--from witch hunts to web pages, Harlem to Hollywood, slave cabins to South Park, Mormon revelations to Indian reservations--to show how Americans remade the Son of God visually time and again into a sacred symbol of their greatest aspirations, deepest terrors, and mightiest strivings for racial power and justice. The Color of Christ uncovers how, in a country founded by Puritans who destroyed depictions of Jesus, Americans came to believe in the whiteness of Christ. Some envisioned a white Christ who would sanctify the exploitation of Native Americans and African Americans and bless imperial expansion. Many others gazed at a messiah, not necessarily white, who was willing and able to confront white supremacy. The color of Christ still symbolizes America's most combustible divisions, revealing the power and malleability of race and religion from colonial times to the presidency of Barack Obama.
