    The Great Man Theory

    From a purely secular historical viewpoint, does Jesus of Nazareth fall within the category of Great Men? A unique 19th-century approach to the study of history was known as the 'Great Man' view of History, according to which history can be largely explained by the impact of great men, or heroes: highly influential and unique individuals who, due to their natural attributes, such as superior intellect, heroic courage, extraordinary leadership abilities or divine inspiration, have a decisive historical effect.
