Jesus
God’s wounds, God’s weakness
Here is a poem written by Edward Shillito, a man who survived the brutal and barbarous First War War: ———— If we have never sought, we seek Thee now; Thine eyes burn through the dark, our only stars; We must have sight of thorn-pricks on Thy brow, We must have Thee, O Jesus of the […]
C. S. Lewis’s ‘Trilemma’
“Identity Check” by Donald T. Williams — opens: “No argument that C.S. Lewis ever made is more well known – or more controversial – than his famous ‘Trilemma’ (not his word), or ‘Lord/Liar/Lunatic’ (not his phrase) argument for the deity of Christ” found in Mere Christianity, book II, chapter 3 [1].

Jesus and ‘myth’ (C. S. Lewis)
C.S. Lewis on ‘Myth Become Fact’, Surprised by Joy (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich: 1955), 236. I was by now too experienced in literary criticism to regard the Gospels as myths.

Adam Harbinson, The Columba Press, 2009 Here’s an interesting pot-pourri of ‘testimonies’ written by a disparate group of people – a few Catholic priests, three or four ManUnited fans, well-known raconteur Adrian Plass, a singer/songwriter who sources the story of the woman taken in adultery in Matthew’s gospel (instead of John’s), a couple of […]
C F D Moule, Jesus: Grounds for the Christian Estimate
(Precis of a previously unpublished lecture at the University of Cambridge, Lent term 1968. Professor Charlie Moule, Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, was a highly acclaimed New Testament scholar.
