Historical King Arthur and historical Santa Claus experts proliferate and none of them do much more than pretend to know the unknowable. My favourite is the historical Prophet. Usually, he's portrayed as a chimaera of everybody wise and brave you ever net, like a war vet granddad character from some cornball Readers' Digest article. Embarrassing drivel.
The historical Arthur and historical Santa Claus are postulated to be much less than the myths of them tell. Are you willing to accept the same of Jesus?
Mountain-high though the difficulties appear, terrible and gloomy though all things seem, they are but Mâyâ.
