Description

Jesus Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum, as inscribed upon the cross, translates to "Jesus the Nazarene Ruler of the Judeans". This phrase, attributed to Pontius Pilate, has been subject to various translations, with authorities agreeing on the meaning. However, the term "Jew" did not enter the English language until the 18th century, and Jesus himself referred to himself as a Judean. The modern concept of "Jews" is distinct from the historical group to which Jesus belonged. This book explores the origins of the term and its evolution over time. By examining the historical context, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding the identity of Jesus and the early Christian community.
