In it, he argued:<\/p><p><i>We need to understand that Jesus is a thinker, that this is not a dirty word but an essential work, and that his other attributes do not preclude thought, but only insure that he is certainly the greatest thinker of the human race: &#8220;the most intelligent person who ever lived on earth.&#8221; He constantly uses the power of logical insight to enable people to come to the truth about themselves and about God from the inside of their own heart and mind.<\/i><\/p><p>In other words, Jesus was the greatest Professor in every field.
