Ahh, now this brings up something interesting... can Truth be communicated through fiction? A similar idea has been proposed regarding the Lord of the Rings books (before the craze from the movie made everything a bit cheesy). And especially Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia books.
For me, I see a great deal of Truth in story... even something like Harry Potter. And that is why for me, it is almost irrelevant whether there was a historical Jesus... (I am not a Christian in this sense), because a fictional narrative can have as much power as fact. Thoughts?
