About Black Jesus
The debate over Jesus’ racial identity has been a topic of discussion among theologians, historians, and scholars for centuries. Some people argue that Jesus was black, based on interpretations of certain biblical passages and historical context. One frequently cited scripture comes from Revelation 1:14-15, where John’s vision of the Son of Man (often identified with Jesus) describes His hair as “like wool,” which some interpret as an indication of texture, a characteristic often associated with African hair types. Additionally, His feet are said to be “like unto burnished brass, as if refined in a furnace,” which could suggest a darker skin tone. Proponents of this view may also reference the geographical and ethnic context of Jesus’ time in the Middle East, arguing that the populations of that region had varied complexions, including darker skin tones. Furthermore, they may point to historical depictions of Jesus and other biblical figures in ancient Christian art in the regions of Africa and the Middle East, where these figures are often shown with darker skin.
