The media reaction to the Cambridge sermon showcased a misunderstanding of artistic depictions of Jesus, ignoring deeper theological discussions and the cultural context of such interpretations.
Doctor Michael Banner emphasized that the interpretation of artistic representations of Jesus offered in the sermon was a valid speculative inquiry rather than a definitive claim about Christ's identity.
Reverend Dr Simon Woodman noted that the historical context behind artistic depictions of Jesus challenges societal norms, highlighting that contemporary interpretations can miss the original intent and scandal.
Woodman illustrated that in various cultures, depictions of Jesus were not always seen through today's lens, suggesting that our reaction may not align with historical views on such portrayals.
