    The Mark Driscoll - C.S. Lewis Connection

    Thought I’d just point out an interesting facet of Chapter One and see what you guys made of it. Did you notice that at the end, Driscoll borrowed directly from C.S. Lewis, using his Liar/Lunatic/Lord trilemma? Lewis fan that I am, that scored some points with me. I thought it was an interesting move, though, since various people have argued that the trilemma is an invalid way of looking at Christ. (This approach, for example, adds the categories “Myth” and “Guru.” I guess it has to do with how far back Driscoll wants to start before he starts dealing with the person of Christ. Vintage Jesus isn’t really an apologetic work per say, so it doesn’t deal with “postmodernity” or “the historical reliability of the Bible.” Thoughts?
