Very interesting: 'The BBC used a combination of 2,000-year-old Jewish skulls and ancient religious images to generate what it claims is the first "true-to-life" picture of Jesus Christ.' (via LMG on MetaFilter. some discussion.).

I think it's worthwhile. Those of us who revere Christ need images for our devotion (at least psychologically, though let me prempt the graven images and iconoclastic remarks by saying that's not what i'm talking about). This helps to put those necessary images in the proper racial and cultural context.
