Consider again G. K. Chesterton's idea that mystery stories remind us that absolute, unchangeable truth exists. All good literature helps us see that unchanging truth exists and that we cannot simply
decide for ourselves what is true or false and right or wrong. Stories that remind us of absolute truth
point to the existence of a Creator and help us see evidence of Him in Creation.
With this in mind, consider a theme in one of the works we read this semester: Tom Sawyer, A
Christmas Carol, The Red-Headed League, Silver Blaze, or a poem. Does this theme reflect the truths of
God? Or does it contradict what God says is true? Use examples from the story, and analyze the
work using the lens of Scripture as a standard for truth.
