History, with its methodological approach, often offers us a vision of past events that conflicts with traditional religious narratives. This raises, especially for those who claim religious affiliation, a fundamental question: how can these perspectives be integrated without compromising the integrity of faith? Can one be a believer and embrace the historical-critical method? Can one be a Christian and at the same time not flinch in rejecting, for example, the historicity of Genesis, Exodus, and much of the biblical narrative? Can one say that Jesus was a failed apocalyptic prophet and at the same time maintain that he is the Christ? Is it possible to live serenely with this tension, or are we constantly challenged to revise our religious beliefs in the light of new knowledge? In short, how can we maintain a balance between faith and reason in this field? A delicate and fundamental topic that we address with Adriano Virgili, historian, author, and, above all, friend.
