Who Do You Say That I Am?

1 “The best argument I know for the highly questionable existence of Jesus is this,” he writes in God Is Not Great (emphasis added). “His illiterate living disciples left us no record and in any event could not have been ‘Christians. ’ Since they were never to read those later books in which Christians must affirm belief, and in any case had no idea that anyone would ever found a church on their master’s announcements” (114). At other places, however, Hitchens concedes that there are “oblique reason[s] for thinking that some such personality may at some time have lived” (118).
