C.S. Lewis famously wrote that we cannot accept Jesus as merely a great moral teacher without accepting His claim to be God - that Jesus is either a liar, a lunatic, or the one true Lord. In this episode, we take a look at this popular trilemma that Lewis puts forth in his book Mere Christianity. Then we examine the legitimacy of a possible fourth option, that the Jesus we know today is merely the result of embellishment - a legend. Plus, some exciting news about the podcast!
