Thoughts from Lewis.

"Now as myth transcends thought," says Lewis, "Incarnation transcends myth. The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact. The old myth of the Dying God, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. It happens -- at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences. We pass from a Balder or an Osiris, dying nobody knows when or where, to a historical Person crucified (it is all in order) under Pontius Pilate. By becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle."





"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important."
