Discuss Journal 5 ... Did you complete it?
A few points...

  • What is the purpose of Chesterton's piece? 
  • What might Christians have feared in reading mythology? 
  • What do we need besides imagination along in order to land on truth?
  • "The rivers of Philosophy and mythology run parallel until they meet in Christianity." Have you ever thought of Christianity as a myth? As a product of imagination? As devoid of these? 
  • Is myth a counterfeit or a precurser? An image or the landscape itself?
  • What does Chesterton mean by festivity and formality (holidays, but no creed)?

EQ: Which myth would you like? We will claim them today.
