of you with tales and stories... There is another type

of theological understanding; a tendency to hold that God would not have used within the Bible literary forms
such as myth, legend, or saga; an unwillingness to reckon with possible creativity on the part
of the evangelists who tell the story
of Jesus in the Gospels or to consider what it might mean that they write that story
from a post-Easter perspective; a general reluctance to consider that the canons
of historical exactitude which we take as givens might have been different for the biblical authors.
