Q. To the various Christians, even some Evangelicals, that want to argue that while there was no historical Fall or Exodus, or conquest, but that the stories still have theological value, I regularly reply ‘Ours is an historical grounded and founded religion, and nothing can be theologically true that is historical false, if the theological claims depend on the historical grounding. Would you agree?
A. I totally agree and I do think all those things (and everything in the redemptive history) are theological true because they are historically true.
