The head of the global Anglican Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, believes that the time is due for the western Christian tradition to reconsider its portrayal of Jesus Christ as a white man. The archbishop was speaking to the BBC over the weekend and made the point that having the image of Christ re-thought and “re-imagined” is due to how far the Black Lives Matter protest movement has come. Welby was also quick to add that his idea is not novel having come across different ethnic iterations of the Christ. . You go into their (non-Western) churches and you don’t see a White Jesus — you see a Black Jesus, or Chinese Jesus, or a Middle Eastern Jesus — which is of course the most accurate. You see a Fijian Jesus — you see Jesus portrayed in as many ways as there are cultures, languages and understandings,” he explained. The Anglican Church head also reiterated that although the image of Jesus Christ is not that which Christians worship, a physical representation of divinity “who became fully human” for the sake of all people, is a good reminder. Can the western tradition have a non-White Jesus? The earliest artistic reproduction of Jesus Christ has been traced to a painting on a plaster from about 235 AD in an area in Syria known as Dura-Europos. The Christian savior was depicted, interestingly, as a young man with no beard but possessing an authoritative look, like that of a revered teacher. In Europe, the pictorial imaginations of Jesus are from around the 3rd and 4th centuries, especially from the Catacombs of Rome. There too, he looked nothing like the man easily identifiable these days. Indeed, the beautiful bearded man with chiseled abs that most Christians insist upon today is a result of philosophization by the earliest fathers of Christianity including Augustine of Hippo. Augustine and others theorized that a divine being could only be beautiful in human form – as Augustine himself wrote, “beautiful as a child, beautiful on earth, beautiful in heaven”. . #JesusChrist #jesuslovesyou」8月1日 21時48分
