Jesus Christ is a historical figure verified by several Roman historians and other non-Christian figures.[1] Whatever one's personal religious convictions, it is undeniable that Jesus Christ has played a massive role in World history.
Origins
In the years immediately after the death of Jesus on the cross, Christianity rapidly developed into a Jewish sect. It was gaining many members and as such was frowned upon and persecuted by both their Roman masters and Jewish brothers. Paul was a Romanised Jew who on the road to Damascus dramatically changed his mind and religion after receiving a revelation from God.
