Text

Jesus Christ is Christianity’s central figure, who lived in the first century CE. [1]

The Gospels recount his life, and other New Testament writings interpret his religious significance. Hebrews 9 explains offerings in light of Christ’s work; the study compares this Christian author’s interpretation with other traditions. [2]
