Names: the Bible
Speak Lord, For Your Servant Is Listening
Someone has to be pretty blind not to see parallels between the world today and the world of the ancient Jews.

On Culture And Giving Offense Or Being Offensive
Are Christians ready to be marginalized further? Are we preparing to share the gospel regardless of how offensive the culture finds it?
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
Great Art And Story
Because fiction is first a form of communication, I think stories should pay attention to what Scripture says about our correspondence with one another.
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
The Bible And Myth
Has speculative literature undermined our belief in God’s word?
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
Speculative Or True?
I suppose a good number of other passages in the Bible also read like speculative literature, but the Christmas story seems to have compacted a number of speculative tropes. There are several angelic visitations, for example. Joseph had a conversation with an angel, and so did Mary. But before them was Zacharias, John the Baptist’s dad, and his encounter with the angel of God in the temple. Most dramatic, and perhaps most well know, was the visitation of the shepherds, first by a single angel, then by “a multitude of the heavenly host.”

The Bible And Speculative Fiction
So often Christian speculative fiction authors fear the accusation of “preachy” that they don’t want characters doing what actual Christians do

A Girl and Her Father
The story of Esther is commonly told as a romance, but the relationship that matters most is the one between Esther and Mordecai.

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?

Wood, Hay, And Straw
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

Writing Supernatural Stories
Is it OK to use real supernatural beings in a fictitious way in order to create an entertaining story?
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
The Wretched Controversy
The longer this Wretched position sits there with only a brief flurry of opposition, the more deadly it becomes. What may have started out as an interesting concept to consider can quickly become a hardened conviction.

An Unheralded Significance
Show me a person who thinks that the Old Testament is only tales for children, and I will show you a person who hasn’t read the Old Testament.

On Giving Offense And Being Offensive
Christians are not to be offensive in the way we speak, but the Bible itself says the message of the gospel is offensive to those who are perishing.
·

Writing About Jesus
Could it be, then, that writing about Jesus as the Savior who came to die for the forgiveness of sins is “on the nose” writing, and therefore amateurish?
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
Magic, Fantasy, And A Christian Worldview
Part of the inexplicable is that God has allowed His enemies some measure of power (magic), and He chooses to let evil ripen before He puts an eternal end to it.

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.
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
Angels Of The Bible and Other Books
Given the immovable place of angels in speculative fiction, I thought it would be interesting to examine what the Bible says concerning them.
·
Shannon McDermott
Animals And Christian Speculative Fiction
In short, the Bible is “animal friendly” in that humankind, as rulers, are to be benevolent in the exercise of our authority. But clearly, humans and animals are not equal.
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
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.
