What if Jesus is asking: When did I become white?
In this powerful short read, Jordan Elias unpacks the history, theology, and cultural forces that reshaped the image of Jesus, from a Middle Eastern Jewish man to a white European savior. Through centuries of art, empire, missionary expansion, and modern media, the face of Christ has changed. But what did we lose in the process?
You’ll discover:
✅ The true historical and ethnic identity of Jesus
✅ How Rome, Europe, and Hollywood changed His image
✅ Why the “white Jesus” still dominates churches, classrooms, and media
✅ How the image of Jesus was used to support colonization and supremacy
✅ What it means to follow the message of Jesus rather than just a man-made face
Whether you’re a believer, seeker, or student of religion and race, this book invites you to question what you’ve always seen and find a deeper, more powerful connection to the truth of who Jesus is.
