Jesus Is A Better Model Of Greatness Than Caesar

The choice between Jesus Christ and Julius Caesar as the model of human greatness is not a scientific choice readable off a periodic table but a rational one informed by what we can discuss about human flourishing, and it rests on contestable underlying assumptions about what a good person is that are not universally shared and emerged historically from a specific Christian choice.
