"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 men. The earliest converts
were converted by a single historical fact (the Resurrection)
and a single theological doctrine (the Redemption) operating
on a sense of sin which they already had... The "Gospels" came
later and were written not to make Christians but to edify
Christians already made."
