The Beauty of Short Horror Films

Short horror films use a bare bones approach to storytelling to craft films to send chills down your spine. · Parker J. Cole

On Canceling the ‘Baby-Eating’ Baby Yoda

What happens when fandom and cancel culture collide with a misplaced sense of morality? · Parker J. Cole

Is Responsibility for Art Limited to Temptations for People You Know Personally?

Does Christian liberty mean we can do whatever we want? Could it be that Christian responsibility goes being concerned about tempting a fellow believer we personally know to sin? · Travis Perry

The Poison Pill Of Culture

The way culture works is opposed to the way God works, the way Jesus works, and might fairly be considered a poison pill. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

How Much Is Too Much?

In addressing how Christians are to live—which by necessity includes how we do and enjoy art—we need to root and ground our actions in the word of God. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Keeping the Edge Sharp

The word “edgy” is not a friendly word. After all, what has edges? Knives, scalpels, axes. The sharper the edge, the better the cutting tool. Something “edgy” divides and separates into those who dig it and those who don’t. It’s challenging and often uncomfortable, rewarding for some and repulsive to others. · Mark Carver

“Better” Christian Entertainment

Does better artistic quality mean better Christian entertainment? · Mark Carver

We Need More Christian Fiction

Half the battle is believing that Christian fiction should do more than “create art for art’s sake.” I don’t see that position in Scripture. Rather, I think a more accurate statement for the Christian is that we are to create art for God’s sake. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Pain and Pleasure

Writing a book and getting tattooed are remarkably similar experiences. · Mark Carver

Weirdness In Church? Or: The Adventure Of The Dancing Men

Should creative works, like ballet dancing or fantasy fiction, be seen in church worship services? · E. Stephen Burnett

A Dark Mind

If Giger’s work embodies dark or even demonic sci-fi art, what would Christian sci-fi art look like? Could such a thing even exist? · Mark Carver

Sentimentality And Christian Fiction, A Reprise

The novel had a simple, even predictable plot, and the writing was serviceable at best. The characters were not complex, the theme undeniably obvious. Imagine my surprise, then, when I came to the climax of the story and cried. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Power Of Ink

Tattoos have historically been associated with strength, aggression, power, status, rebellion, and tribal identity. · Mark Carver

The Art And Craft Of Glorifying God

The belief that “good art,” simply because it is good art, glorifies God, is a fallacy. Lots of artistic expression has a worldview contrary to God. Contrary, not neutral, and certainly not God glorifying. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Beauty And Function

So does beauty exist for beauty’s sake? Are evangelical Christians wrong to think art can and should do more than just be beautiful? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Art And Evangelism

We writers don’t have to incorporate all Truth into our stories because, above all else, we can’t. Instead, we can give our own feeble glimpse of God’s work or nature in order to contribute some small addition to the reader’s knowledge of our great God. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Great Art And Story

We must grapple with the demands of our culture when it comes to realism in Story and the greater demands of Scripture to obey God in all we do and say. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Christian Writer And The Trends

Students and teachers alike, apparently, are embracing “the role that the arts and education can play in galvanizing people around an issue.” · Rebecca LuElla Miller

What Brings God Glory?

When believers say that the “chief end of man” is to “glorify God and enjoy Him forever,” I have to wonder if “glorify God” in that context means the default position—i.e., do nothing because your existence, as God created you, glorifies Him. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Reading Choices: Do Christians Deserve Our Support?

What are Christian readers to do? Do we support those writers with whom we agree? Do we give a theological pass to those who are aiming for innovation and speculation? · Rebecca LuElla Miller
