  • Jesus Christ
    • Uniqueness
      • John Macquarrie
        • every life is unique so the question is misleading
      • yes
        • no one like Jesus has made such an impact on history and society
        • miracles noted by many people unlike Moses and Elijah
        • interactions after death
        • Jesus' background and social class made it so unlikely that he would become so infamous
      • no
        • similar to Moses and Elijah and other martyrs
        • healers looked after people the way Jesus did
        • Ceaser, Roman Emperor was also called Son of God, so even the name wasn't unique to Jesus
    • the Christ Event
      • viewing the whole of Jesus' life and place in history
      • Macquarrie thinks Jesus' life as being defining moment in the human relationship with God but not exclusively
      • not unique as many other non-Christian figures have had defining moments in history
      • Karl Rahner
        • to be fully human, we cannot know the future , we are guided by uncertainty
          • if Jesus has God's knowledge then he can know the future, taking away what would make him human
