Reading Choices: Realism, Truth, And The Bible

More Thoughts on Science and Fiction

Is the phrase “Christian sci-fi” really an oxymoron? · Yvonne Anderson

Speculation And Biblical Elements

The Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour (CSFF) is currently featuring Broken Wings, Book 2 of the Angel Eyes triology by Shannon Dittemore. I haven’t had time to read the first round of posts yet (those that went up […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller
