Still Reading Mark.
It's so different to read the gospels as an adult—and to take them seriously as biographies. I know I have friends who think Jesus was an unbalanced rabbi with charisma, but when I look at his maturity, and his willingness to die with dignity at the age of 33, it's difficult to look at the man's life and not be convinced that he was exactly what he said he was.

Jesus Christ the man was a major stud. A total badass. If he was not—is not—God, he was also completely insane, of course.

That's the only two choices he gave us, Jesus either is who he says he is, or he's crazier than a rabid rat.
anybody trying to take a middle of the road stance concerning him either never read the gospels, or is dishonest, or both.

Sometimes it has to do with the power of wishful thinking.

Was it Neville Goddard who recommended reading the Gospels
as if (in your imagination) you were Jesus reading your own
biography? Something about your imagination was your
connection to the Spirit of God?

I don't recall that, but I do remember reading an interesting book by Dorothy L. Sayers called The Mind of the Maker, in which she maintained that writers of fiction may have special insight into God's own consciousness.
Of course, Sayers had big brass ovaries.
