Jesus Christ
fl. c. 5 BCE – c. 33

Founder of Christianity. Figure on whom the Christian faith is founded. His altruistic ethics, as presented in the four gospels, are revolutionary, especially the injunction to love others as oneself, to love one's enemies, and to assist the poor, the homeless, the hungry, the injured, those in prison, and in general, anyone in need, not only to assist them, but to see God in each one of them.
