So in general, would you agree with C.S. Lewis that it is "the myth that happens also to be true" (my paraphrase)?

I dunno. Its historical that he appeared to 500 witnesses after ressurection. I'm one that believes the Bible has some historical value as well.

Accepting the report of the 500 witnesses as true, this still leaves open the question of the divinity of Jesus. In my view this question remained open until 325 C.E., when Constantine established one church and began suppressing all "heterodox" belief.
