No nation,
and few individuals, are really brought into [God's] camp by the historical
study of the biography of Jesus, simply as biography. Indeed, materials
for a full biography have been withheld from [us]. The earliest converts
were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection) and a single
theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating on a sense of win which they
already had... The "Gospels" came later and were written not to
make Christians but to edify Christians already made.
-- C. S.
Lewis (1898-1963) in The Screwtape Letters
