“The modern Christian ‘fundamentalist’ who bravely continues to ‘believe’ in a real star of
Bethlehem or an actual Garden Tomb in Jerusalem from which Jesus rose from the dead is
making the same unimaginative mistake as Heinrich Schliemann when he dug in the sands
of Hissarlik and thought he was finding Homer’s Troy. Troy is in the Iliad, not in the
sand. And because of Homer, not because of the sand, Troy exists in the collective
consciousness of the human race.” --A. N. Wilson “Paul: The Mind of the Apostle”
