Amen, Paul! This is something that we apologists so often can overlook. The
person of Jesus Christ: who He is, what He has done -- that is our ultimate
distinctive and the ultimate proof of what we believe. All the arguments
about how other worldviews are inconsistent, unviable, etc. are fine, but
He is the best we have to offer.
