What Does it Mean for a Story to be “Christian”?
There are at lease nine different ways to define a story’s relationship or lack thereof to Christianity (we’re counting đ ). And that’s not all.

What About Christian Speculative Movies?
Speculative fiction by Christians is not uncommon. Readers can find stories about dragons and wizards, about characters trying to survive in a dystopian world, about a clone who escapes the laboratory, about the people in a new fairy world, about space captains, about space aliens, about vampires, about . . . well, just about anything speculative you can imagine. But how will these stories make it to the big screen?

Violence In Speculative Literature
Speculative fiction is built upon a violent struggle. The goal is never to learn to co-exist with evil or to just learn to get along or to agree to disagree. Instead, two opposing forces, two incompatible worldviews square off.
