    No individual has been written about, debated, or depicted over the last 2000 years as much as Jesus of Nazareth. Depictions of Jesus, however, are far from uniform. Christian groups have conceived him differently from the period of Christian origins until the present. Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic, Jewish, and New Age commentators also have their own Jesus. In this course, we will survey a range of depictions of Jesus from within Christianity, other world religions, new religions, fiction and film.
