"But very little of even the best … literature is perfect. It may be that we will have to point out the problems with the text: is an idea or concept in the story based upon mistaken assumptions? Was a character justified in an action? Or, was the action clearly wrong?"
question:No one, save Christ, is perfect. This means that there are flaws in people, and that everyone makes mistakes. Think about this along the lines of both the author of a story, and the characters of a story – how much can we trust them to tell the truth? Do you think we can learn what NOT to do as much as what to do? How can we tell the difference? What is our standard of good and bad fiction, of truth, goodness, and beauty?

You make my head hurt.
1) Jesus lives and is not fiction.
2) Jesus lived a sinless life as a fully human being experiencing temptations and doubts but never choosing to sin.
3) someone creating fiction chooses the standard his/her characters will "live" up to (or down to).
4) Is it right? Bake 3 dozen cookies, with both white chocolate and dark chocolate chips but no walnuts. Eat them all while they're hot and ask me again. Surely nothing this convoluted can matter much after having such lovely food.

We should not read fiction. It has no redeeming qualities. The bible is the source of truth in literature. Lean about the fulfilled prophecies.

Even Jesus had doubts. He questioned God.
Would you ever dream of questioning God!
