this week in my theology I am learning about bibliology, and came across this great quote from C.S. Lewis:
“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic– on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg– or he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse.”
thank you, Jesus, for being an incredible man who came to this earth, endured torture and pain and died for me so that there is nothing in this world that I can do please God, for You have done it for me.
Happy Easter, friends. He is risen, He is risen indeed!

I love that C.S. Lewis quote.
On a side note, I originally read this entry as saying “bibliography” and was wondering why you would learn about bibliographies in a theology class.

girl, you are quick with the comments.
when I first was looking through the book and saw that I’d be looking at things like prolegomena, christology, pneumatology, etc., I totally thought it said bibliography too. I was like “what doesn’t belong here…” haha.

I was scrolling through my blog list when you updated, so that’s why I commented so quickly.
Glad I’m not the only one who read it wrong. haha
