Status Updates From Jesus the Logician

His use of logic is always enthymemic, as is common to ordinary life & conversation. His points are, with respect to logical explicitness, understated & underdeveloped. The significance is…it enlists the minds of the hearers from the inside in a way that full & explicit statement of argument cannot do… Jesus’ aim in utilizing logic is not to win battles, but to achieve understanding or insight in his hearers.
