Names: C.S. Lewis
The Inklings, Part 2 â Who Are They
The key to The Inklings was the double linchpins of their love of words and their love of Christ. But one other thing canât be ignored. These men of letters lived in Oxford, a place that fostered academic pursuits. In other words, it was no accident that so many men interested in similar subjects were in the same location at the same time. Of course, in light of Godâs sovereignty, we know it was no accident at all.

The Inklings, Part 1 – News And Tidbits
My recent series based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s lengthy essay “On Fairy-Stories” has renewed my interest in the group of scholars and writers known as the Inklings who famously met in the Oxford pub The Eagle and Child. Hence […]

Jack And John In Conversation
In lieu of our planned article, then, I offer you a fascinating dramatization of a dialogue between C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien, with thanks to Fred Warren who found it and passed it along to me because of its relevance to the just concluded series on Tolkien’s essay “On Fairy-Stories.” Enjoy!

Sentimentality And Christian Fiction
I believe that stories that suggest God never brings things to right here in this life are just as untrue as those that imply He always does so. Perhaps J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis were such masters because they knew how to show both the truth of this world and the truth of Christian hope.

Mythopoeia Or … It’s Opposite
Mythopoeia, according to Wikipedia, is “a narrative genre … where a fictional mythology is created … The authors in this genre integrate traditional mythological themes and archetypes into fiction.” When I first heard the term, I was confounded. Which is it, I wondered, the creation of a myth or the integration of traditional myth into a new story?

The Narnia Secret
If the title Planet Narnia makes you cringe, you’re not alone. And if the title The Narnia Code makes you think “Lewis would have hated this,” well, me too (although upon reflection, I realized it was Tolkien who would have […]

Randy Alcorn on Story, Courage, and The New Earth, Part 1
Author Randy Alcorn shares how he came to love God-honoring sci-fi and fantasy stories, how such stories point us toward eternity, and why some Christians still tend to avoid visionary novels.

Stories For Christians 1: The New âwatchful Dragonsâ
C.S. Lewis wrote about âwatchful dragonsâ on guard against religious trappings that seem incompatible with enjoyment. But many Christians today employ different Churchian Dragons, who tolerate fiction (if they do) mainly if it plays well on their own moralist pragmatic grounds.

Harry Potter, Bob The Tomato, and Genre
At one little Baptist church in 1997, no one had heard of Harry Potter. But “VeggieTales” was all the rage, and was proposed for the church’s VBS â until Vera (not quite her real name) spoke up. âI wonât have this at my church,â she said firmly. âItâs fantasy.â

Speculating About The Known

âHarry Potterâ and The Issues Beyond Fiction, Part 2
Three more reasons why “Harry Potter” issues go beyond questions of fiction witchcraft and wizardry: we might swing wild on our “discernment” views, or accept or shun things based on appearance alone, or have inconsistent expectations of stories.

A Long and Glorious Tradition
If you think speculative stories are (or should) only be a “niche” market, I have a few names: Dante. Bunyan. Visionary fiction’s patron saints, Lewis and Tolkien. Oh, and Psalty the Singing Songbook. Also introducing: the SF Library!

Refuting âuniversalismâ Slanders Of C.S. Lewis, Part 3
Lewis was not a universalist. He was not a closet compromising-with-Satan âpaganâ either. He believed the essentials of the faith: that he was a sinner and that Christ, by grace, saved him. That, at the core, makes one a Christian.
