Jesus, Religious Genius or Failed Prophet?

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=3374

[VirtueOnline] December 12, 2005--Jesus creates a problem. He announced that the kingdom of God was imminent. It did not arrive. Is it best to think of him as a religious and moral genius, or a failed prophet? If we think that he is a genius, we save his teaching but lose our integrity. If we think of him as a failed prophet, we keep our integrity, but it is difficult to explain why he has been so significant in the history of the world.
