While it may be true that you can't judge a book by its cover, it is also true that you can apply biblical principals to judge what's inside that book. Jeff Baldwin of Worldview Academy does a wonderful job of identifying the key characteristics (or trademarks) that make a piece of literature great. We should be reading literature that is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. At a time when great books and worthwhile literature are being assaulted by the politically correct crowd, we need to return to the basics and learn from Jeff Baldwin how to use biblical tools to judge the quality of literature.
