S Pl0tz #11 Lewis - Myth Became Fact

I would like to take a minute to further distinguish the two things Lewis is discussing in this paragraph of Myth Became Fact:

"Now as myth transcends thought, incarnation transcends myth. The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact. The old myth of the Dying God, without ceasing to be myth, comes down from the heaven of legend and imagination to the earth of history. It happens--at a particular date, in a particular place, followed by definable historical consequences. We pass from a Balder or an Osiris, dying nobody knows when or where, to a historical Person crucified (it is all in order) under Pontius Pilate. By becoming fact it does not cease to be myth: that is the miracle. I suspect that men have sometimes derived more spiritual sustenance from myths they did not believe than from the religion they professed. To be truly Christian we must both assent to the historical fact and also receive the myth (fact though it has become) with the same imaginative embrace which we accord to all myths. The one is hardly more necessary than the other."

To me, I see Lewis distinguishing a "historical perspective vs mythological perspective" in regards to Jesus's Christ's death and resurrection. The historical perspective is one that can only look at the "facts" the undebatable parts of the story. In this case, Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus to be crucified. The mythological perspective looks at the uncertainties in Jesus stories - the things that cannot be proven 100%. And in this case, Jesus's being his resurrection. On history alone, one only sees the man who walked on Earth. Through the mythology one sees God-incarnate walking on the Earth. The separate entities lead to two very different paths. For historical, Jesus is a man who completed great deeds and rallied a mass of groups together under his ideology. Nothing else is truly "proved" historically because it lacks facts. For Mythological, Jesus becomes our redeemer and is man's connection to God. If one were to look purely mythological Jesus would not have to actually existed, walking on this earth, and instead resembles man's re-connection with God when following the ideals of the myth. As Lewis says, combining these two ideas is of utmost importance. It is there when both the biblical story and the meaning embrace as two beloveds.
