One of my deepest criticisms of American evangelism is the need for the Bible to be 100% historically accurate for it to be true and valid. In my opinion, though, you lose out on the richness when you try to rationalize mystery. That isn’t to say we simply brush off these things as “miracles,” because that also cheapens the text. The tension is where you find beauty and depth.

Yeah, for sure! "The tension is where you find the beauty and depth." That's a great way to put it!
