Names: Narnia
Speculative Worlds And Christian Tenets
What are some of those Christian beliefs that would subvert our culture today?
·
Rebecca LuElla Miller
Remembering The Soldiers Who Died
It doesn’t seem to me that speculative stories are short on wars, and therefore people serving the rest of their culture or nation or species by marching into danger and possible death. What novels actually show beloved characters dying as part of their commitment to fight for right?

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?

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

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

Books Versus The Screen
The vast majority of the best stories are within the pages of books, not on the little or big screen.

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.

Idolatry And Reading-Fandom
Religion scholar David Chidester has famously argued that baseball, Coca-Cola, rock ânâ roll, Tupperwareâand even the Human Genome Projectâserve, for their biggest fans, as âreligious fakes,â meaning they play the role of religion, though they arenât the real thing.

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.

Stories Of Sacrifice
I think there’s something to the idea that
self-sacrifice is appealing
. C. S. Lewis was particularly good at weaving self-sacrifice into his stories. It, of course, is crucial in the (traditional) opening book of Narnia–
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Rebecca LuElla Miller
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.

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 […]

What Is It About Narnia?
What is it about the Narnia books that we love?
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
, first in the order C. S. Lewis wrote the series, has four main characters and none of them is the hero. With the omniscient point of view, readers do not benefit from close character identification. The plot is straightforward, without multiple subplots, and the writing wouldn’t be considered lyrical. Why, then, do we love these books so much?

Defeating Man-Centered Monsters With Greater Stories
For the Christian, the choice seems easy between God-rejecting and God-centered stories. But if I had to choose between stories that ignore God and those that (despite frequent hints of God-centeredness) include Him wrongly, I must admit I would prefer the God-ignoring ones.

Fighting Man-Centered Monsters In Christian Fantasy
Stories like âThe Voyage of the Dawn Treaderâ that make a Christ-figure a means to fulfilling oneâs destiny are little better than atheism.

âDawn Treaderâ Film May Hit Story Sandbars, Part 3
Until a few hours ago today, an online interview was available with Mark Johnson, a lookalike of Justin Hammer (from Iron Man 2) and also producer of the Narnia films. AslanâsCountry.com has since removed the interview text. (But guess who […]

âDawn Treaderâ Film May Hit Story Sandbars, Part 1
First Disney dropped distributing the Chronicles of Narnia film franchise. Then Fox picked it up. Then it seemed that producer Walden Mediaâs new director, Michael Apted, might bring a better story adaptation. But a leaked script emerged that included some […]
