So Many Good Writers, So Many Good Books
I thought perhaps today we could add to those resources by sharing information about books and/or authors we like that may be flying under the radar, and others need to know what we know.

The God Of The Impossible
One thing I love about speculative fiction is the fact that it opens the door to the impossible. It expands our vision of reality.

Holidays And Celebrations – Reprise
Holidays and celebrations seem to be a staple in society. Many pagan cultures held festivals and commemorations, some connected to their religious beliefs, and certainly Western society under the influence of Christianity fostered holidays consistent with the tenets of their faith. Consequently, novels that incorporate familiar festivities seem anchored in reality.

Through Uncanny Valley
“But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on […]

The Military, Veterans, And Speculative Fiction
In thinking about the military, I had to wonder about the place of the military in speculative stories. Perhaps most famous are the Storm Troopers of Star Wars, but other stories, particularly dystopian fantasy such as Hunger Games, includes a strong military—as part of the side of evil.

When Christians Vacate An Industry
When Christians vacate a profession, it necessarily takes on qualities that contradict a Christian worldview.

If You Could Read Anything You Wanted To Read
I started to wonder what sort of stories the visitors here at Spec Faith consider ideal. I don’t think we’ll have a consensus.

What Is Speculative Fiction?
Speculative fiction represents the longing we have to imagine the impossible, dream the unbelievable, and explore the uncharted.

Fiction Is The RIGHT Vehicle For Theology
Instead of warning people away from theology in speculative fiction, I think we’d be better served to teach writers how to include themes in effective ways.

What Isn’t Christian Fiction
It can be hard to define what makes fiction Christian. So let’s define, instead, what doesn’t make fiction Christian.

Parabolic Tales: The Hidden Beauty Of Faith In Speculative Fiction
As a reader, I want to be transported to a place beyond myself. To a place where light-versus-dark struggles are elevated beyond the mundane to new heights of courage, bravery, and inner strength. Sometimes, it’s only at these new heights that we can finally grasp the truth.

Reading Fantasy
Some might think fantasy is pure escapism, but in reality, it helps us deal with the darkness in our own lives, inside and out.

The True Story That Reads Like Speculative Fiction
It is Christmas, or nearly so, and naturally my focus turns to the Christmas story. The true, Biblical story. I understand that many people in the world look at the accounts recorded in Luke 1 and 2 and Matthew 1 and 2 as myth. And with good reason. Those passages read like speculative fiction.

What Does Christian Speculative Fiction Do With Jesus?
I’ve read any number of Christian fantasies that include a god figure or perhaps even God Himself. What I don’t recall as easily is a representation of
Jesus

The God Of The Impossible
The Christmas story is both the proof that God can do the impossible and the declaration that the God who is Lord of the impossible accomplishes the miraculous. And speculative fiction expands readers’ thinking so that we can more easily come to grips with this truth.

Animals And Christian Speculative Fiction
In short, the Bible is “animal friendly” in that humankind, as rulers, are to be benevolent in the exercise of our authority. But clearly, humans and animals are not equal.

Realm Makers – 2015
Realm Makers, a conference for speculative writers with a Christian worldview, is still in its infancy. This year marks only the third annual event. But clearly, word is out. Enrollment in 2015 has doubled.
