The power of Christianity as a true myth

The conversation between Lewis and Tolkin revolves around the idea that Christianity is a true myth, containing deeper truths that history cannot capture. They believe that myths and legends convey truths that factual accounts are unable to express, such as the concept of heroism. Tolkin convinces Lewis that Christianity is unique in that it is a real story about an actual man, Jesus, which conveys supernatural and higher truths while also being a true account of a man who lived, died and was resurrected.
