Michael describes one of the central processes of history: reconstructing the past from fragments no one in their time knew would be important. Such a reconstruction results not in 20/20 Hindsight, but rather in 20/20 Hindblindness—a clarity made of mists and myth more than fact. This reveals the unique reality of biblical history, making it even stranger in our eyes, more prophecy than history.
