Summary
My theory is that a seismic shift in the symbolic universe, for example a re-envisioning of the divine identity of God, leads to a shift in the way the earlier stories in the narrative thought world are viewed, used, and retold. And yes, there was such a seismic shift in the minds of at least some of the earliest Christian writers, especially the more creative ones.
