“What is distinctive about the contest between myth and gospel, therefore, is that myth is fragile and survives only when its premises are accepted uncritically, while the gospel can be trashed and betrayed and corrupted almost beyond recognition without fatally compromising its inherent demythologizing power. Time and again, the gospel has been turned into a bludgeon or a religious emporium for generations or even centuries at a time, only to break its bonds and reveal itself anew just as its official obituary is being readied” (Gil Bailie, Violence Unveiled, p. 39).
