==SynopsisQuotes=='''[[C.S. Lewis]] on the deity of Jesus''':"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said woul not be a great moral teacher. He would be either a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us."
