THE GOSPELS

'Of course I do not mean that the Gospels tell what is only a fairy story; but I do mean very strongly that they do tell a fairy-story: the greatest. Man the story-teller would have to be redeemed in a manner consonant with his nature: by a moving story.'
JRR Tolkien in Humphrey Carpenter, The Letters of JRR Tolkien, p.100.
