/ SpecFaith / Topics: Fiction as theology

The Power Of “Type”

Not every non-Christian is ready to receive the message of humankind’s fall, lost state, need of salvation, and rescue by a loving God through the blood of His precious Son. Something intervening takes place to bring a lost soul to the place where he is willing to listen to the salvation message. · 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

Five Myths Of Cultural Engagement

Have you encountered any of these myths? · R. L. Copple

Star Trekking Religion By Firefly

Is portraying religion positively enough? · R. L. Copple

Keeping It Real

Too often, I suspect, the subject of sex and marriage is avoided rather than fleshed out in most Christian fiction. This is not an effective counter to secular values on the subject regularly plastered in mainstream speculative fiction. · R. L. Copple

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

When Christians Review

My fear is that we Christians are slipping down the same path the people of Israel took. They had a relationship with God and they had His Law, but they wanted so to be like the nations around them. So they began to compromise. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Why Don’t Christian Writers Speculate According To Scripture?

We have an infallible, Spirit-inspired revelation of God’s work in the world from the beginning of creation. Why, then, don’t we Christian speculative writers more often take what we know from the Bible and speculate on what the world might look like? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Evangelizing Entertainment

I’d tend to evaluate the movie Noah like any speculative fiction story in relation to my faith: What picture of God and man is painted for me when taken as a whole? · R. L. Copple

Truth And Story: A Look At The Multiverse

Go ahead and write about those alternate worlds and universes. But, be careful. After all, a prudent study of early church heresies reveals just this type of fiction: tweaking the Truth into a version that suits our human thought processes and needs. · Bruce Hennigan

Reading Choices: Realism, Truth, And The Bible

God has made us in His own image–which would suggest that we are, by nature of our similitude to Him, creative beings, though we cannot create from nothing. Rather, what we create comes from something already made, and therefore, from God’s world. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Reading Choices: Down With Snobbery

Pretentiousness, arrogance, haughtiness, elitism–I don’t think any of it belongs among Christian writers and readers. But sadly, literature–or more accurately, people’s feelings about literature–generates attitudes of exclusivity. · 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

Fictional Christianity

If it sounds right and they like the speaker, many will not blink an eye and drink the koolaid. · R. L. Copple

God From The Story

Any author who has God as a character is always in danger of alienating readers by what God does or doesn’t do or say. · R. L. Copple

About That Kingdom… Come Again?

Two weeks ago, I shared my thoughts about the dual nature (spiritual and physical) of Christ’s Kingdom and how this worldview is not often reflected in fiction. One reader took objection, and I’m glad he question my assertions, as it’s […] · Yvonne Anderson

Because God Says So

In some small part, I think Christian writers have the responsibility to dispel the objection that says says “reality” doesn’t verify belief in the “fairy tale” ending, and to demonstrate the way the world really works. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Truth In Labeling

The world isn’t helped when Christian books further confusion about the faith. · Yvonne Anderson

How Small Do We Want To Be?

Not only can God use speculative stories to make Himself known, which we’ve discussed frequently here at Spec Faith, but He can do so on a Grand Scale. He is not a tiny God struggling for recognition. · Rebecca LuElla Miller
