Because [the Gospels portray] something which neither the poets nor the historians of antiquity ever set out to portray: the birth of a spiritual movement in the depths of the common people, from within everyday occurrences of contemporary life … What we witness is the awakening of ‘a new heart and a new spirit.’

Mimesis, pp. 42-43
