Frodo’s FailureâWhen Doing Your Best Isn’t Enough
This imageâFrodoâs failing despite his best effortâgets at the heart of the Gospel and the fact that left to ourselves, we can try-try-try all the livelong day and never measure up to what God requires. Never hope to come close.

Thinking About Time
Over all what do you think about stories that manipulate time? What are some of the best stories that you’ve read (or written) which depend on the manipulation of time or on a certain time period?

Mayhem And Its Meaning, A Reprise
Why does mayhem play such an important role in speculative fiction? The clearest and best explanation is that these stories reveal the great struggle of the world—the struggle between the rebel Satan and God.

The True Form Of Fairy-Tale
J. R. R. Tolkien appealed to reality in justifying joy in fairy stories. It’s revealing as to what he thought of fairy tales â and of reality.

Stories With Romance Or Stories With Love?
Could it be that our current Christian speculative fiction has focused so much on the kind of love the world recognizes that we are neglecting the kind of love the Bible extols?

Culture Wars And Speculative Fiction
Are speculative fiction writers creating worlds that reflect disagreements and opposing factions representative of societal struggles?

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.

People Groups
The creation of people groups seems to be a common speculative trope, sometimes for allegorical purposes and sometimes for the sheer beauty and ingenuity of creation.

Exploring ‘The Hobbit’ Chapter 15: The Gathering Of The Clouds

Christianity, Diversity, And Speculative Fiction
