2a. Find a verse from the Bible that relates to the theme of "About Effie" and include it in your written response.
Exodus 14:31 tells how the Israelites changed their attitude toward God and Moses after they saw the Red Sea split in two, creating a path for them away from Egyptians.

2b. This story contains a lot of Christ imagery. Write down three separate sentences from the story that might symbolize Jesus and explain why Timothy Findley might have written into his story.
a. "She just called him "him," and sometimes it was even "they," as if there were a thousand of them or something."
b. "There has to be thunder, or he won't come."
c. "If there was ever thunder and lightning and music, then he'd come.
Maybe Findley was trying to tell the readers about Jesus and how Christians can affect nonbelievers. But he might've also wrote that to criticize Christians by showing how vain their waiting is.

3. How can non-Christian authors reveal truth about God's world?
I don't think non-Christian writers would ever try to reveal any stuff about God's world.
Instead, they would try to make them look ridiculous and not right since they disagree with believing in God. If they reveal truth about God, it would be out of mistake, or it could be because readers comprehended it in a wrong way. If they do reveal something about the truth of God, they might be a non-Christian, but they do think Bible says the right things.
