The Touch of God

By: Ryan Funk

Status: Completed

Summary:

In time for Easter.... The Victorian Era was a wondrous time of mysticism and spirituality, making it the perfect backdrop for a conflict between science and religion. Not on the busy streets of London, but in a tiny church tucked away in the countryside village of Denby, which becomes the biggest attraction in all of England as several priceless religious artifacts have recently been uncovered in the vicinity of the church, leading to a series of miracles . Little do they know, but they have just unleashed powerful forces of both good...and evil, some of which can be explained, some of which cannot. Please say a prayer for the good people of Denby and ask yourself the same question each of them must answer as their faith is put to the test: Do you believe in miracles?

      Where to start?

      This was brilliantly done, really. The plot was well thought out, and both the spiritual and scientific explanations were well explained. Both sides (secular and spiritual) were imperfect, which was nice, since stories like this generally tend to make either the Christian or secular side perfect. Both had blind spots here, and both had good things, as well.

      I think that in some places, the wording was a bit circular and confusing, but for the most part, the writing style was very good and very sophisticated.

      Your word choice was impeccable, and the style was neat in that it was a bit on the formal side, very sophisticated. It was fun to read and think about, and I like that you let the reader decide for him or herself what all happened. You didn't force a conclusion on them (which, in my opinion, is why most atheists don't like Christian works and vice versa), but gave several explanations and left it to the reader.

      Overall, it was a wonderful piece, and even though it is a highly controversial topic, you handled it incredibly well. The plot was clearly thought out, both sides had flaws and strengths, and you left the reader with something to think about. Great job!

      Nice story and very descriptive as well. Maybe you could do another spiritual story like this one. Just a thought.
