CS Lewis' Trilemma Is Better Than You Think

Описание: In his book Mere Christianity, CS Lewis popularized the argument that Jesus was either a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. It’s a logically valid argument. But is it sound? Many would quickly respond with a resounding “no”. That's because there's another option that Lewis apparently didn't consider. Modern biblical criticism has shown that the Gospels are a mix of fact and legend.

In a thread criticizing Lewis' trilemma, comedian Rhett McLaughlin proposed a dilemma of his own: "Lewis was either not as well-versed in these matters as many thought, or he figured his readers were not well-versed enough to raise this seemingly obvious objection." Here I show that Lewis was familiar with the legend option and wasn't impressed by it at all.

Lewis spoke out against modern biblical criticism in an essay titled Fernseeds and Elephants, which you can find here: https://amzn.to/3QYLZkQ
