Rearranging Icons 5: In The Eye Of The Beholder
I’m more interested in the idea that readers can have a richer reading experience and writers can tell richer, deeper stories if they understand how this works.

Rearranging Icons 3: Give and Take
As our e-mail conversation about icons continued, we moved into more of a give-and-take format, so you’ll see lots of quoting and commenting on things we posted last week.

Rearranging Icons: An Introduction
A few months ago, Stephen and I wandered into a conversation about the meaning of icons in literature and their connection to Christian faith, and we agreed it was a topic worth examining in more detail in a feature here at Speculative Faith.

Not A Waste Of Time
I wasted my childhood. Also the first half of my teenage years. At least, I thought I did. After all, practically all I did for all those years was read fiction.

Dark Is The Stain: The Fast
Just as I’ve learned there’s many ways to fast, so there are many ways to prioritize so as to focus on writing productivity.

Dark Is The Stain: The Song & Dance
Jesus was frustrated because whether he calls his people in a spirit of celebration or comes weeping, they reject him. Christian storytellers can likely relate, when despite their efforts and pleas, they can’t please the audience.

Dark Is The Stain: Suspense.
Sunday morning Fred posted a lovely series of Advent readings and Scriptures, and yesterday he posted on Hope ( I swear, we didn’t plan this). Now, I gotta say, just as over the last decade I’ve grown incredibly fond of […]

Taking Every Thought Captive
Speculative stories are the brunt of criticism from those who believe fantastical elements don’t belong. At the same time, however, the hammer comes down, claiming theology has no place, that it’s too restrictive, too confining, too box-like.
