Myths and Legends vs. The Gospels - C.S. Lewis

"If he [the biblical critic] tells me that something in the Gospel 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; not how many years he has spent on that Gospel... I have been reading poems, romances, vision-literature, legends, myths all my life. I know that not one of them is like this."

- C.S. Lewis, Professor or Medieval and Renaissance Literature, Cambridge University; author of the Chronicles of Narnia.
