I would see some value in saying a God breathed human telling. I would disagree with Postman on the limited truth part. And he was not a professing Christian, that is true. But, I do think he paints a compelling need for the true story and illustrates how the attempts at those stories have fallen short.

I agree and perhaps my original comment was somewhat of a sidetrack, but in reading a great article, it made me feel let down in the end.
