Who Cares About Extraterrestrials?
I certainly have no problem with people who write science fiction. I consider it to be a type of fantasy, though.

Stories And Human Nature
What I find fascinating about these three movies is the theme that runs through them—unlikeable characters depicting marriage as psychological warfare; evil is real and we can’t get rid of it; and “good” removed leaves evil to fend for—and against—itself.

Agenda Fiction Is Alive and Well
The purpose of fiction is to experience the truth lived out in real life. Even if that real life is in the future, past, or a fantasy world.

Reading Choices: Realism, Truth, And The Bible
God has made us in His own image–which would suggest that we are, by nature of our similitude to Him, creative beings, though we cannot create from nothing. Rather, what we create comes from something already made, and therefore, from God’s world.

What are Christian readers to do? Do we support those writers with whom we agree? Do we give a theological pass to those who are aiming for innovation and speculation?

Christian Speculative Fiction And Intellectual Rigor
There is power in stories. Stories help us to see truth through someone elseâs eyes rather than through our own biased view. Through stories we can get to Truth by seeing past our own version of truth.

Realm Makers: Go Beyond The Blogs
Realm Makers offered more than cosplay and shared fandom. It gave deep doctrinal magic and a chance for Christian fans to better âincarnateâ their love of fantastic fiction.

E. Stephen Burnett
The Christian Writer and Fiction
Fiction is not very good fiction, if fiction at all, without âflawed characters and narrative.â As such, the gospel-story (narrative) is the story of sinful men and women (flawed characters) coming to repentance and faith in Christ, the Redeemer, whose sacrifice atones for their sins. The narrative does not stop at the point of conversion but continues with how such persons struggle with the remaining sin within them (flawed characters, again) and the sin in the world around them.

How Storytelling Conveys Truth Better Than Non-fiction
I would suggest that what plagues much Christian fiction isn’t so much the desire to convey theological truths, but the mixing of non-fiction with fiction. Both forms are valid and have their place, but when they are mixed into a story, the result tends to be a story that isn’t engaging and/or sloppy/incomplete teaching.

Why Fiction Is The Wrong Vehicle For TheologyâA Rebuttal
Rather than shying away from the depiction of âtheologyââby which I mean knowledge about Godâin speculative fiction, I think Christian writers should embrace the challenge. In saying this, however, I do not believe all stories must show all the truth contained in the Bible, nor do I believe that our stories must affirm all Biblical moral values (as if Christians even agree on what those are).
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
Why Fiction Is The Wrong Vehicle For Theology
I suggest that this expectation of âright theologyâ in our fiction not only keeps writers creatively hamstrung, it keeps Christian speculative fiction from reaching a larger swath of more serious genre readers.

Mike Duran
The Point And Purpose Of Reading Fiction
We frequently discuss whether or not we should expose ourselves to “gritty” stories about the garbage dump of life. Must we wallow in the mud, or can we choose instead to read stories that evoke truth and beauty? A tangential issue that might help with that question is this: are truthful stories beautiful (artistic) simply because of their truth?
