A Rich Web
The web of rich and potent customs surrounding Easter is a testament to how profoundly religion molds culture. And it makes me wonder again why religion is so neglected in speculative fiction as an element of world-building.

The Christian Problem With Magic, Part 2
We must be careful not to have a superficial understanding of what the Bible means by âmagicâ.

Theology and Heroes-Shaping Our Stories By What We Believe
To add to our enjoyment of a good story, we have the excitement of holding it up transparently before the Story of God and finding its parallels and tangents.

How To Deal With Sensitive Subjects (in Christian Spec Fiction)
Contemporary fantasy is swamped by material that runs completely adverse to traditional family values. This is a huge concern for parents and teachers. Young readers, especially, are impressionable to strange philosophies because they have not learned discernment.

The Christian Problem With Magic, Part 1
Where, exactly, does this leeriness in the Christian community toward magic and fantasy come from? From the Bible.

Why Read Fantasy? The Power Of World Building
Every believer who reads fantasy has heard objections. Some of them have been ably handled by others on this blog. Yet you know something deep stirs in you when you read about dragons and fairies and other worlds where battles are fought and wrongs are righted. Maybe, though you’re not sure how to explain your reading choices when presented with these statements.

Science Fiction And Fantasy?
The overall trend seems to be that the general market favors either science fiction or fantasy, but not both—at least not in great numbers.

Do The Scriptures Work In Fantasy Realms?
I was astounded at how easily the Lordâs living verses could be woven together in a different realm with its own history. Because our Creator is unchanging, and His Word is eternal and alive, the Scriptures translate beautifully into other realms.

Speculative Fiction And Children’s Books
Because God has given adults the responsibility of passing on the truth about God, and because He said we are to use every opportunity to do so, I think stories offer the perfect opportunity for showing what we believe.

Fiction Friday: Dream Treaders By Wayne Thomas Batson
Something was behind him. In the pines. Something big enough to snap a tree trunk as if it were a twig. Archer knew there were only a few creatures in the area large enough and heavy enough to do that kind of damage

Fiction Friday: An Excerpt From One Realm Beyond
The distinct sound of leathery wings unfolding caught [Cantor’s] ear. He fought back a grin and redoubled the speed of his dash to freedom. The dragon on course to intercept him roared a warning. Accepting the challenge, Cantor pushed his muscles with all his might. If he could reach the portal first, he could dive and roll. The dragon in flight would have to land and squeeze through.

There Be Dragons
In Surprised by Joy, C.S. Lewis describes those moments in which some earthly experience awakens us to the truth that there is more to the world than our earthly experience.
