The Leadership and Legacy of Jesus of Nazareth

I have always been interested in Jesus of Nazareths leadership and legacy from a
religious point of view. To look at it from a historical point of view is harder, but I thought that it
would be a good experience. Jesus of Nazareth's leadership spawned a legacy that has
transcended the ages as it birthed the religion that is known as Christianity. This has motivated
and inspired leaders, teachers, and commoners to build political, economic, and humanitarian
empires all in his name. The legacy of his life continues to thrive even in our modern age. The
legacy he left has interested me as well. Church does teach about Jesus of Nazareths leadership,
so the Bible, I thought, would help with the leadership information. When I saw that Jesus was a
topic that I could pick, I thought long-term legacy would be the easiest information to find.
For research, websites played a big role for finding the facts. Those websites helped the
most with the legacy part of my project. To start, I just searched on Google for what I needed to
find and got the information that was needed. The ideas of my topic did not change while
researching, but it helped me to put the information in a logical order. I put my entry in a
chronological order. Leadership was first, followed by short-term legacy, long-term legacy, and
my annotated bibliography.

I believe that you need to know the historical part of a religious leader to fully understand
them. Im talking about a person who changed the time system as we know it. Its hard to
understand someone like Jesus at first glance, but if you can find information about him from a
historical point of view then you can understand the man himself. Ive learned that Jesus is just
as fascinating historically as he is religiously.
