Abstract

Christianity adapted through the centuries. Jesus has changed along with it. This study explores what was occurring in the Late Antiquity centuries that caused Jesus’ appearance and image to change drastically between cultures. The essay investigates interpretations of Jesus that have come about through the early centuries. This includes examinations of artwork and writings from a historical perspective. Questions about what happened in history during these times are taken into consideration.
