Names: C.S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis Fifty Years Later
“Of the three [famous men who died November 22, 1963], it was Lewis who not only was the most influential of his time, but whose reach extends to these times and likely beyond.” – Cal Thomas

Fairytales … Truer Than Real Life?
Fairytales promote a desire for . . . other. Not a desire for fire-breathing dragons to terrorize your city block, or a desire for fantastical battles to happen on your front lawn, but a desire for “something beyond.”

The Words Of C. S. Lewis
On November 22, fifty years ago, C. S. Lewis passed away. While we at Spec Faith certainly have never ignored this great Christian thinker, apologist, and speculative writer, it still seems appropriate to focus on him this month as a tribute.

Do We Need Books?
Speculative fiction has moved to visual media in a big way. And not just stories devoid of spiritual truth.

‘Nothing But A Black Puerility’
An evil explored in C.S. Lewis’s Perelandra explains politicians’ fits and challenges Disney “backstory” attempts.

Because God Says So
In some small part, I think Christian writers have the responsibility to dispel the objection that says says “reality” doesn’t verify belief in the “fairy tale” ending, and to demonstrate the way the world really works.

The Continued Search For The Next C. S. Lewis
Lewis’s fiction did not spring to life in a vacuum, nor did it germinate exclusively from the fertile soil of his own imagination. Rather, he read widely, studied profusely, and spent hours discussing literature and theology with other scholars.

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

World-building: The Undervalued Element Of Speculative Fiction
Books that transport me somewhere else have a dense culture filled with rituals, slang, moral right and wrong, tradition, art, entertainment, bureaucracy, and so much more.

The Stories That Matter
“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. . . . Those were the stories that stayed with you.” ~ Samwise Gamgee

What Makes Fantasy Work? Part 2
I hope our readers here at Spec Faith are thinking about the Christian speculative novel–fantasy, science fiction, supernatural, or whatever–they would like to nominate for the Clive Staples Award. Let’s find the books that work and pick the best of the lot to honor.

What Makes Fantasy Work? Part 1
Readers love Narnia and Lord of the Rings, and they love a handful of later fantasies. But a lot of stories don’t go viral, don’t get hundreds of reviews, and in fact get tepid responses. So what makes fantasy work?

Screwtape on Redefining ‘Realism’
“Your patient, properly handled, will have no difficulty in regarding his emotion at the sight of human entrails as a revelation of Reality and his emotion at the sight of happy children or fair weather as mere sentiment.”

Holidays And Celebrations
J. K. Rowling was not alone in making use of this-world holidays. C. S. Lewis created a powerful, and Christian, message in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by referencing the fact that Narnia suffered under a never-ending winter–always winter and never Christmas.

‘A Willingness To Be Enchanted’
More people are saying self-distraction and materialism don’t bring real happiness. That’s true, but moralistic rules cannot fix this idolatry; only a willingness to submit to Christ, and submit to Godly enchantment.
·
E. Stephen Burnett
The Success Of Fantasy By The Masters
According to Dr. Drout, Tolkien, and I would argue Lewis, created a bridge for contemporary readers to step into the realm of the fantastic. These writers tied their magical, mystical worlds to the world readers knew and recognized. Interestingly, they did so in vastly different ways.

Reading Is Worship 8: Source Of All Stories
Scripture is the source of all stories — the story of reality, the smaller “stories” of us as real people, and the stories we subcreate. We must recall that truth when we’re discussing how our stories glorify God.

Reading Is Worship 7: More Than A Story
Do you suspect that claiming a story must have higher “purpose” somehow cheapens its quality? Or do you agree this actually makes stories more truthful and beautiful?
