If someone tells me that something in the Gospels is legend or romance, I want to know how many legends and romances he has read, how well his palate is trained in detecting them by the flavour…Turn to (the Gospel of) John. Read the dialogues: that with the Samaritan woman at the well, or that which follows the healing of the man born blind. Look at the pictures: Jesus, if I may use the word, doodling with his finger in the dust…I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know what they are like. I know that not one of them is like this. – C.S. Lewis Westcott House (1959)
