Names: Christian speculative fiction
Not Always Popular
Today we are going to discuss three distinctly Christian subgenres of speculative fiction and why they are not always popular.

Christian Speculative Fiction: Complaining Or Buying
Spec Faith was founded, lo these 15 or so years ago, as a response to editors and agents saying over and over that there was no market for Christian speculative fiction.

Christians And Writing Speculative Fiction
I happen to think that the world desperately needs to hear what Christians have to say. The world needs hope and healing from sin, but the truth is there is only false hope in “looking for the power within,” or the “man is good, you just need to show him empathy” approach to life.

Can We Say …
We’re all happy to set aside debates for the sake of our chosen stories. But should we have a different standard when the debates are centered around Scripture?

Where Do You Find Your Speculative Fiction?
This post is really my effort to understand the state of speculative Christian fiction as it stands today. Any thoughts you care to share would be greatly appreciated.

A Christian Twist
Christianity itself introduces different elements into fiction.

Let’s Talk About Sex
Authors shouldn’t fear writing about sex any more than they should fear writing about violence or the occult. There is a place for all of those things in fiction.

The Truth And Story
What Lewis did was alter my understanding [of reality] by giving his own imaginative version that contradicted everything I’d thought before.

The Future Of Christian Speculative Fiction
We’re at a crossroads, I believe. Are Christian speculative stories going to speak to our culture, or not?

Exploring The Light
What is the point of departure between those who read and write horror and those who don’t? From my perspective, the answer is “focus.”

Fiction Friday – Heir Of Hope By Morgan Busse
All of it, gone. Caleb staggered against the wall inside the dark back rooms of the tavern, the shock at last catching up to him.

A Rich Web
The web of rich and potent customs surrounding Easter is a testament to how profoundly religion molds culture. And it makes me wonder again why religion is so neglected in speculative fiction as an element of world-building.
