摘要：
In his novel, The Martyred, Richard E. Kim, a Korean-American novelist, raises fascinating questions with regard to politics and truth: (1) Is it possible to uphold Christian truth in the contemporary condition? And, (2) is it desirable to reveal the ugly truth to the masses regardless of its possible impact upon our political community? While the first question is concerned with religious, transcendental truth, the second takes issue with factual truth. These two questions are intertwined in such a complex and intricate way in the novel that it is difficult to unravel the two in a compelling way. This essay analyzes the relationship between politics and truth in terms of these two issues that have been addressed throughout the novel.
