Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the popular series, The Chosen, has advanced the perception that Jesus was dark-skinned and bearded. But a recent discovery may paint a different picture. Archaeologists in Turkey uncovered what is thought to be the best-preserved early depiction of Jesus ever found. The third-century fresco depicts Jesus, the Good Shepherd, as light-skinned and clean-shaven. Additional recent discoveries help show how followers of Jesus grew from a rag-tag bunch of fishermen to one of the world's most important religious movements.
