Settling the Solar System in Science Fiction, part 2: Venus
Venus used to be a main destination for sci fi, inspiring Dagobah-like settings. But Venus could well be more like Bespin…in the clouds…

Favorite Authors
Authors can captivate a reader, maybe more than a genre does, but to keep their loyalty, an author needs to keep delivering.

What Does it Mean for a Story to be “Christian”?
There are at lease nine different ways to define a story’s relationship or lack thereof to Christianity (we’re counting 🙂 ). And that’s not all.

Superheroes And Heroes As They Relate To God
In part I think the love of speculative fiction grows from the need in the heart of each one of us for a person stronger, better, more capable, committed, willing to put his life on the line for others. We long for rescue—for ourselves, for our community, for the world. We love the idea that Someone will bring justice when we see no hope, when we are convinced that the bad guys will win, when we see devastation wrecking havoc in the face of our helplessness.

Does Narnia “Rewrite” Christianity?
When something like Schnelbach’s article comes out, especially from a reputable fantasy source such as Tor, I suspect a number of readers have digested this idea that misrepresents Lewis’s views. Many may have even embraced it, so I think it’s imperative to take a stand against such an understanding that undermines a man known for his Christian worldview. And for his many fiction and non-fiction books that deal with Christianity.

Veterans Day: Mayhem And Its Meaning, A Reprise
While stories in the general market are not intentionally reflecting this spiritual reality, they nonetheless reveal the truth that the world is not as it should be, that there are forces of evil, seemingly insurmountable at times, against which forces of good must strive. Mayhem in speculative fiction also shows that the struggle isn’t just external. Mankind struggles against that part of ourselves that seems bewitched or entrapped or bound to a chair.

The Wretched Controversy
The longer this Wretched position sits there with only a brief flurry of opposition, the more deadly it becomes. What may have started out as an interesting concept to consider can quickly become a hardened conviction.
