In this video, we dive into one of the most intriguing artifacts from history, the Letter of Lentulus. This letter, which surfaced in Renaissance Italy and was believed to have been penned by a Roman official named Publius Lentulus, claims to provide a firsthand description of Jesus Christ. According to the letter, Lentulus, a supposed governor of Judea during Jesus’s time, describes Christ’s appearance in vivid detail—a portrait that has profoundly influenced how artists and believers have envisioned Jesus for centuries.

But is the Letter of Lentulus authentic, or just an elaborate creation of Renaissance imagination? Scholars have long debated its origins, questioning whether a Roman official by the name of Lentulus even existed during Jesus’s lifetime. And the language used in the letter—phrases like “Prophet of Truth” and “Jesus Christ”—adds further mystery, as these terms align more closely with Christian terminology developed well after Jesus’s time.

From its discovery in the 15th century to its presence in early German and Italian publications, this letter has sparked both admiration and skepticism. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo may have drawn from its descriptions in their iconic depictions of Christ, blending human and divine traits to capture his essence. Yet, despite its disputed authenticity, the Letter of Lentulus remains one of the most captivating pieces of Christian apocrypha.

Join us as we explore the origins, language, and impact of this mysterious letter, and consider the lasting influence it has had on the Western vision of Jesus. Does this letter bring us closer to understanding the historical Jesus, or does it reflect more about the hopes and reverence of its time? Let us know your thoughts, and thank you for watching!
