C.S. Lewis: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord

Front

What is the 'Trilemma' argument regarding Jesus' identity?

Back

Jesus claimed to be God, meaning He was either lying, mentally unstable (lunatic), or truly who He claimed to be (Lord). This forces a choice beyond just 'great moral teacher.'

Explanation

Lewis argues that because Jesus claimed divinity, one cannot simply call him a 'great moral teacher' while rejecting his divine status.

Source or basis: C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
