Jesus of history

Jesus of history
 ; Christ of faith
   This double designation contrasts (1) the historical figure, Jesus of Nazareth, who was born between 4 and 6 BC and was crucified around AD 30, with (2) Christ (the Messiah, meaning "anointed"), God's eternal Son. In speaking of the Jesus of history, scholars are usually referring to the historical individual insofar as he can be known throughhistorical critical methods; in speaking of the Christ of faith, theologians generally mean Jesus, the risen Savior.
