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

The Worldview of Biocentrism–You Are One With The Force

Biocentrism is Dr. Robert Lanza’s view of the universe that criticizes modern science in part while drawing from neuroscience. It makes bold claims about the universe that parallel the Force, worth talking about… · Travis Perry

Memorial Stones And A Day To Remember

Christian writers, in the telling of our tales, serve as the memorial stones that remind readers of the King and His victory. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Theology And Art: Are They Complementary?

For too many bored or otherwise restless and relevance-seeking evangelicals, fidelity to the arts has overtaken fidelity to Scripture. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Christians And Writing Speculative Fiction

I happen to think that the world desperately needs to hear what Christians have to say. The world needs hope and healing from sin, but the truth is there is only false hope in “looking for the power within,” or the “man is good, you just need to show him empathy” approach to life. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

God’s Mistake?

Death is not a mistake. Death is not wrong or evil. For those who are saved, death is a gift. · Mark Carver

What’s a Body to Do?

Just how important is an intact body? · Mark Carver

What Aliens Teach Us About God, part 7: Tamed Transcendence

When humans substitute meeting aliens for the transcendence of God, we create a tamed version of what we long for. · Travis Perry

Star Wars And Christian Fiction

The idea seems to be that I, being a Christian, will quite naturally write from a Christian worldview. But is that true? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Ghosts . . . In The Bible?

Ghost stories, to me, are much like demon and angel stories. Real angels and demons do exist, but few stories stick to the Biblical narrative that show us what those supernatural beings are like. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Let My People Think

In the lately-renewed controversy surrounding The Shack, two defenses of the book stand out to me. · Shannon McDermott

The Gospel According To Star Trek, Part 2

All goodness is God’s goodness. All truth is God’s truth. All beauty is God’s beauty. So we mustn’t shy away from something just because we see a philosophical difference in its makeup. If anything, it’s good for us to be in conversation with ideas with which we disagree. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Gospel According To Star Trek, Part 1

Initially, the idea that we’re engaging in something philosophical, or even spiritual, by watching a sci-fi adventure show may seem strange, but Star Trek has always been philosophical in nature. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Shut De Door, Keep Out De Devil…

Back in the day, the demon hordes would be banished by a holy relic or a vague verse from the Bible. Now it seems that the power holding evil at bay is increasingly being named for what it truly is: the power of Jesus Christ. · Mark Carver

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. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Whiplash Wednesday – A Look At Preachy Fiction

How effectively can Christ’s disciples carry out the Great Commission if they never spell out what they’re talking about? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

My Take: The Force Awakens

There’s an interesting nod to behavior psychology, too, and the strength of the human will—both for good and for ill. The idea seems to be that “training” can only be successful to a certain degree, but ultimately the person has the final say about what they will or won’t do. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Truth And Story

What Lewis did was alter my understanding [of reality] by giving his own imaginative version that contradicted everything I’d thought before. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Culture Shifts And The Christian Writer

Is it OK for Christian novelists to write to other Christians or to general market readers “purely for entertainment”? Or should we aim to make an eternal difference through what we write? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Is Prayer In Fiction Fictional?

What constitutes an unrealistic view of prayer in fiction? · R. L. Copple
