This coming weekend, the world’s 2½ billion Christians will celebrate — emphasis on “celebrate” — the torture, execution, and the resurrection of an obscure Jewish carpenter.
Others will simply note the execution of that same man in passing.
Those are really the only two choices that people have. Either Yeshua bar Yosef (better known as Jesus) was God, in which case his torture, execution and resurrection are central to the lives of everyone on the planet, or he was an itinerant Jewish preacher and a madman.
While both seem improbable, the second option — that he was, essentially, a nobody from a fringe outpost of the Roman Empire — may be as difficult to explain and believe as the first.
