Question
Hi i just wanted to ask a group of fellow christians about this question we as a class were asked in 'religious studies' today. It wasnt really a question more of a proposition that Jesus and his disciples are always depicted as being white caucasian males even though they lived in the middle east and would have certainly had arabic features and skin colour, anyway i was just wondering why you think this is.
It probably sounds silly but this has led me to question my faith a bit because there are some answers that i have thought of that dont cast my new found faith in a very good light.
Im sure that there is a really simple answer to this but id like to know what you think,
Alex
