The Central Character of the Bible (2 of 3 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 9 BIBLE EVIDENCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY

By Charles F Baker

John Stewart Mill, the English Utilitarian philosopher is quoted:

Christ is still left, a unique figure, not more unlike all His precursors than all His followers, even those who had the benefit of His personal teaching. But who among His disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings ascribed to Jesus, or of imagining the life and character revealed in the gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; certainly not Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers.⁶
