Jesus and His Jewish Influences

Jesus - a Jewish man from first-century Judea - was perhaps the most influential person in world history. His life and beliefs sparked a movement that influenced the course of global civilization, and his teachings gave rise to a faith currently practiced by over 2 billion people around the world. And yet, as revolutionary and lasting as his ideas are, few of us think to ask: Where did they come from? It’s important to realize that Jesus’s actions and teachings didn’t emerge from a vacuum.
