In the Baháʼí Faith, Jesus Christ is regarded as a Manifestation of God, one of a succession of divine messengers through whom, in Baháʼí belief, God progressively makes himself known to humanity. Baháʼí scripture affirms the titles the Gospel and the Qurʼán give to Jesus—among them the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the Messiah. It describes his divinity not as an incarnation of the divine essence but, as expressed in Baháʼí and Christian scripture, the reflection of the sun in a mirror. Baháʼí writers accordingly hold that Jesus mirrors God's names and attributes rather than sharing God's unknowable essence, and read the Christian doctrines of the Trinity and of Jesus's sonship as spiritual realities rather than as physical states.
Baháʼuʼlláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith, placed Jesus within an unbroken chain of Manifestations of God between Adam and Muhammad, each renewing the religion of the one before and pointing toward ones to come. Baháʼís refer to this principle as progressive revelation. Baháʼí teaching accepts the Gospel as authentic scripture, a stance scholars describe as a departure from the doctrine of scriptural corruption common in the surrounding Islamic milieu, and reads much of its language as figurative rather than literal.
Baháʼí scripture, like the Qurʼán, supports the understanding that Jesus was born of a virgin through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit. His birth is held to be miraculous, but secondary in doctrinal importance; its significance is read spiritually, and it is in this sense that he is called the Son of God. Baháʼí scripture affirms the historical reality of the crucifixion of Jesus—distinguishing the Baháʼí position from the view, prevalent in Islam, that Jesus was not in fact crucified—and, in the Baháʼí reading, treats his death as a redemptive sacrifice that renewed human civilization, while rejecting the doctrine of vicarious atonement for original sin. The resurrection and ascension are seen not as material phenomena, but rather as spiritual occurrences that revivified the faith of his followers.
The eschatological prophecies of the Gospels, including the promised return of Christ, are likewise read figuratively. Baháʼís hold that the return of Christ was fulfilled not in the reappearance of the same person but in the advent of the same Spirit in later Manifestations of God, including the Báb and Baháʼuʼlláh.
The Baháʼí understanding of Jesus Christ has been the subject of a small body of academic study, alongside a larger body of devotional and apologetic literature. Baháʼí sources focus on the meaning of the Gospel narratives and the words of Christ, rather than retelling the events of Jesus's life. Therefore, the tradition produces little in the way of biography.
