Dr William Lane Craig - Who was Jesus of Nazareth? (part 9)

Who really was Jesus of Nazareth? Messiah? Prophet? Madman? Who did Jesus claim to be?

The most influential person ever to walk the planet continues to fascinate. A man who's public ministry only lasted 3 years, but changed the world forever.

Is The New Testament reliable? Are the stories borrowed from other sources, are they adapted from myths and legends?

From 'The Holy Blood and Holy Grail', 'The Da Vinci Code', 'Zeitgeist' and the recent claim by James Cameron that he discovered Jesus' tomb. The life of Christ continues to be reinvented for those who can't except the biography's of Jesus told by The Gospels.

"I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse." -- C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
