Counterpoints: Michael Martin and J.P. Moreland on the Intelligence of Jesus of Nazareth

 


Michael Martin: The Jesus of the Gospels, "does not exemplify important intellectual virtues.  Both his words and his actions seem to indicate that he does not value reason and learning."1

J.P. Moreland: "To my mind, Jesus was the greatest thinker who ever lived.  And while he did not come to develop a theory about logic or to teach logic as a field of study, it is clear that he was adept at employing logical forms and laws in his thinking and reasoning."2

To learn more about Jesus as a thinker, I would recommend The Apologetics of Jesus by Patrick Zukervan and the late Norman Geisler or checkout the "Related Posts" below.  

Courage and Godspeed,
Chad
