Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure ofChristianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be theSon of God and the awaitedMessiah of theOld Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that ahistorical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of thegospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized byJohn the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect,Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by theHoly Spirit,born of a virgin, performedmiracles, founded the Church,died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieveatonement,rose from the dead, andascended into heaven, from whichhe will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of aDivine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural.In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)

Last month's auspicious relaunch ofour newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom.Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administratorFuture Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The storywas reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaperThe Signpost.
The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in theprotracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The originalChristianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 byBrisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal.The Transhumanist has revivedWikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals.

Operation Auca was an attempt by fiveEvangelicalChristianmissionaries from theUnited States to make contact with theHuaorani people of therainforest ofEcuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the firstProtestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, onJanuary 2,1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", asandbar along theCuraray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated onJanuary 8,1956, when all five—Jim Elliot,Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, andRoger Youderian—were attacked andspeared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, andLife magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film productionEnd of the Spear. (more...)

TheMortara case was a controversy precipitated by thePapal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family inBologna, Italy, in 1858. The city'sinquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administeredemergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, butPope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and wasordained in France three years later. In 1870 theKingdom of Italy captured Rome during theunification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.
