The New Atheists refuse to consider the statement by Lewis that Jesus was “liar, lunatic, or Lord” by claiming Jesus simply never existed. They insist that there is no non-Biblical evidence that Jesus existed. Any references to Jesus in Josephus’ writings are said, by them, to be spuriously added by later Christians.

Though there are more written documents alluding to Jesus’ existence, Bibical and non-Biblical, and thousands of copies, some of which fall within fifty years of the events described, than to any other ancient person. - i.e. Julius Caesar, that doesn’t matter: the new atheists say He never existed, Nazareth didn’t exist in the First century, and on and on.

But, just wishing Him away is not going to work. One day, “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

ewis quotes points out, as only Lewis could, that Jesus was either the Messiah (and the Son of God) as prophesied in the ancient Jewish scriptures, or He was a liar, a lunatic, or, worse, the "Devil of Hell."

He might also have been a man of great perspicacity who saw things very clearly and didn't fear the truth.

> “You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse”.

I made my choice after years of fighting it. Today, Jesus commands me and I am called to obey.

This is the brother of Rush Limbaugh and he has been very illuminating and faithful to the Gospel. I will read this with great attention.

It could be neither of those.

“Proving his case beyond any reasonable doubt?” Possibly the most absurd statement I’ve heard in my lifetime.

This reads like a commercial advertisement without the actual price listed. How much money is the author or his business associates charging per copy ?

I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting to get my hands on Jewish books to understand their view of Messiah and what they imagine it will be like when He rules the world so you know I HAVE to have this book.

I hope it reveals the wholeness of Messiah as Savior and Warrior King.

Most people here are focusing on the C. S. Lewis quote, so perhaps we should mention that it is from the book Mere Christianity. It’s a classic.
