The crucial roles of Jesus in Christianity and Islam make him a central figure in world history. The Global Jesus research seeks to describe how Jesus has been understood - by believers and non-believers alike - in cultural history. Instead of considering a single, regional instance of Jesus entering a new culture, it pursues a global analysis of the migration images of Jesus throughout the world. This global historical strategy points directly to the early-modern period (ca. 1400-1800) during which global networks of missionary activity, commercial activity and imperialism developed.
