When Christians Create Non-Christian Stories
Laura VanArendonk Baugh: “Some people might be surprised that a Greek myth told among Norse myth was written by a Christian.”

The Wonder of It All
Human beings are hardwired for wonder, and speculative fiction taps into that desire.

For Writers: The Spiritual Element
So whether it’s overt or subtle, there has to be reflection of something greater for a story to resonate as true. It may take the form of direct allegorical elements or a subtle symbolic thread, but in capturing some element of spiritual truth, our stories will gain impact.

Sarah Sawyer
The Car-Universe Without A Motor, part 8: Multiverse
The multiverse, though fodder for great speculative fiction stories, is based on a desire to explain wild improbabilities seen in the formation of the universe that should lead a person to realize there must be a Creator.

Travis Perry
Why We Need Superheroes
Christians aren’t being silly to compare superheroes to biblical truth, because that’s exactly what the storytellers often intend.
·
Jason Joyner
Writing Supernatural Stories
Is it OK to use real supernatural beings in a fictitious way in order to create an entertaining story?

The Deeper Magic of Easter
“The Magic Of Easter” runs far deeper than chocolate eggs and an adorable spring wardrobe.

Should Christian Fiction Genres Exist?
Some readers argue that having a genre specifically for Christians isolates us from the world. But is this really the case?

Serious Joy Saves Stories
Flippancy can deaden our souls, unlike “happiness and wonder that makes you serious.”
·
E. Stephen Burnett
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.

Rebecca LuElla Miller
Flippancy Kills Stories
Screwtape says flippancy is the cheapest and most soul-deadening form of humor. It’s infecting many of our stories.
·
E. Stephen Burnett
What Is It About Fantasy And Christmas?
The cool thing about good fantasy, however, is that no one explains it. There isn’t a narrator in C. S. Lewis’s Narnia books that says, “Now boys and girls, Aslan is actually Jesus.” Instead, readers are allowed to discover the dots on their own and connect them at their leisure. Or leave them unconnected.

If Donkeys Could Talk: The Point Of Speculative Fiction
Speculative fiction is known for . . . well, speculation. Writers ask the “what if” question in ways that break known boundaries.

Holidays And Celebrations – Reprise
Holidays and celebrations seem to be a staple in society. Many pagan cultures held festivals and commemorations, some connected to their religious beliefs, and certainly Western society under the influence of Christianity fostered holidays consistent with the tenets of their faith. Consequently, novels that incorporate familiar festivities seem anchored in reality.

95 Theses for Christian Fiction Reformation, part 3

95 Theses for Christian Fiction Reformation, part 2
Christian-made fiction’s worst errors come from shallow or false beliefs about our faith.

But You Just Can’t Dress Like Jesus After Labor Day

Sacrifice And Speculative Fiction
Clearly self-sacrifice is a key component in both general market speculative fiction and Christian speculative fiction. But what is it about sacrifice that is so compelling?
