A Few Thoughts on “Generation Snowflake”
Are younger generations actually different from the past? Does “generation snowflake” isolate itself from criticism? How are we to respond to criticism and confronting others?

Parker J. Cole On Diversity in Christian Fiction
I’m all for including diverse ethnic groups in fiction in general, not just speculative fiction, but when you force diversity, you’re stunting the creative spark.

What Happened to All the Gods?
What does the Bible say about gods and goddesses, demons and devils, magic and spiritualists? Are the Nephilim important to the conversation? Are the gods still around, still important, even when they are mentioned less?

Are Theists Dumber Than Atheists, or More Intuitive?
Several recent studies attempt to explain why atheists are “smarter” than theists. But when it comes to intelligence, IQ is not the only thing that matters.

When Is Horror Too Much?
Believers of old did not shy away from horror. Hardly! Some of our most loved hymns are based on a premise of what we today consider to be horror.

Realm Makers Presenters, Part 5 – Mike Duran
Mike identifies closely with the horror genre. In fact, he’s addressed this topic in previous years at Realm Makers, has a guest post here at Spec Faith on the subject, and has a nonfiction book—
Christian Horror
—that explores the topic. This year he will teach a continuing session on “The Theology Of Speculative Fiction” and an elective on “The Crossover Christian Novelist.”

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.”

Continuing The Horror Conversation
Paul’s counter to the legalistic approach was for believers to readjust our focus, to explore, if you will, the things above. Which is why I generally ask in these discussions about horror, why we believers aren’t doing more in our fiction to
show the light
—God’s light and truth.
