What Tolkien Taught About Fighting Evil
Some of the most epic battles of fantasy fiction were penned by J. R. R. Tolkien. So what did Tolkien show us in his fiction about fighting Evil?

A Santa Claus Non-Believer Discovers Tolkien’s Father Christmas Letters

There and Beowulf Again: Providence and Plot in Tolkienâs Hobbit
Beowulf is known as a pagan myth, but it was penned by a Christian writer. The Hobbit borrows from Beowulf and shows how Tolkien used mythology to show forth Christian truths.

Perhaps the twenty-first century version of realism is another way in which we are not addressing spiritual issues realistically.

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

Was Tolkien A Racist?
How could Tolkien be accused of being a racist when his races were, well, made up? No, there are no hobbits in the world. No, there are no elves. No, there are no goblins or orcs made be the magic of an evil wizard.

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 đ ). And that’s not all.

Tolkien, The Movie
“Iâm a little worried the filmmakers will make too many parallels between (1) Tolkienâs early life and (2) imagery that they assume a movie audience—familiar only with Jacksonâs adaptations—will find recognizable.” – Jeff LaSala, Tor Magazine

Realism And Twenty-first Century StorytellingâA Reprise
I think there’s something else not particularly real in twenty-first century stories, no matter how real the computer generated characters might appear. We could chalk this up to “that’s just movies” if it weren’t for the fact that screen writing is beginning to dominate the way we write novels, too.

The Christmas Story: The First Epic Tale
Many stories, whether written from secular or Christian worldviews, point us back to the story of Christ, implicitly or explicitly, by design or by accident.

Liturgy and Lunacy
Since Christianity is such an integral part of the Western society we inhabit, it’s only natural that it will have a prominent place in our stories. It shows up in all genres but we often see Christianity or its derivatives in fantasy, horror, and surprisingly, science fiction.

Realism And Twenty-first Century Storytelling
I think there’s something else not particularly real in twenty-first century stories, no matter how real the computer generated characters might appear. We could chalk this up to “that’s just movies” if it weren’t for the fact that screen writing is beginning to dominate the way we write novels, too. I’ll characterize this unrealistic phenomenon as too much conflict.

Welcome To Christian Entertainment
Stories by Christians should reflect timeless truths, grow naturally from the authorâs worldview, and glorify God in striving for excellence. Which, by the way, isnât a code word for âLetâs use blatant Christian themes.â
