So, as has often been said more eloquently than I can say it here, Jesus might have been a deranged demagogue or a charlatan, or perhaps the Son of God, but he couldn’t simply have been a great teacher. His claims do not leave that option open to us. A merely good human being would not say such things. His statements about himself, “if not true, are those of a megalomaniac, compared with whom Hitler was the most sane and humble of men.”27
