- Notes
- Writer comments on the artistic portrayals of Jesus and notes "The fact that Jesus was a Semite means he was, in all likelihood swarthy, with dark hair and eyes". Also notes that "ancient artists always portrayed him as either serious or suffering". There are few depictions of Jesus angry and none of him laughing.
