History of Christianity/Jesus, pre-4th century Christianity, and syncretism - This article should be merged with: History of Christianity
Historicity of Jesus/Temp - The existence of Jesus, known by Christians as Jesus Christ (Jesus the Messiah), is accepted by the followers of three world religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, on the basis of their respective scriptures - the Bible, the Torah and the Qur'an. They differ in that Christianity considers Jesus to be the Son of God, whilst Islam and Judaism sees him as a prophet and teacher.
Jewish view of Jesus - Christianity diverged from Judaism in the first century CE: for this reason, the Jewish view of Jesus is important for a historical understanding of Christianity's initial reception. The first Christians were Jews, and, as far as is known, subscribed to Jewish beliefs and practices common at the time.
Jesus - Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Nazarene (circa 4 BC/BCE – 30 AD/CE), is the central figure of Christianity, in which context he is known as Jesus Christ (from Greek Ιησούς Χριστός) with "Christ" being a title meaning "Anointed One" or "Messiah".
