Topics: Controversies
The Strange Case Of Nicheolas Bartleby
He loves speculative stories. But deep down he doesnât much care for actually sharing the joy in the best ways possible.

Speculative Faith Reading Group 4: Reality and Narnia
Why did C.S. Lewis write about four children coming into the magical land of Narnia? Why not two, or three, or even one, in order to write a simpler story with a more-focused cast of characters?

The Point And Purpose Of Reading Fiction
We frequently discuss whether or not we should expose ourselves to “gritty” stories about the garbage dump of life. Must we wallow in the mud, or can we choose instead to read stories that evoke truth and beauty? A tangential issue that might help with that question is this: are truthful stories beautiful (artistic) simply because of their truth?

âA Wrinkle In âŚâ Truth?
Despite its classic status, Madeleine LâEngleâs âA Wrinkle in Timeâ is kind of boring me. But are the authorâs apparently universalist beliefs even more concerning?

Teaching Story Transitions 1: Mediating Extremes
âChildren, be sheltered.â âParents, shelter your children.â But Biblically, what comes in between? Introducing Pastor Jared Mooreâs new summer series.

Speculative Faith Reading Group 2: Meeting Mr. Tumnus
Week 2 of the âLion, the Witch and the Wardrobeâ reading group. Goat-men, tree spirits, naked Greek gods, a drunk on a donkey, and an evil White Witch â how are these things in a classic story Christians love?

Speculative Faith Reading Group 1: Entering The âWardrobeâ
This week Iâm starting a reading group at my church for âThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.â Youâre invited to join. How does this story honor God, and how can we learn from C.S. Lewisâs success at redeeming pagan myth for His glory?

Define âChristian Speculative Storyâ
What is this thing called Christian speculative fiction? Readers and writers are still debating that question. How do you define it? Care to defend your definition?
·
E. Stephen Burnett
Stepping Stones & One Angry Lady
We canâand oftentimes shouldâexamine speculative fiction ourselves. We should consider the good and the bad they offer. We should consider the lessons they teach and the journeys they take the reader on. And whatever our prayerful conclusions, we must acknowledge that the printed word is always a perfect springboard for discussion.

Beauty and Truth 4: The Chief End Of Story
I love story, yet recognize that Christians may give poor justifications for fiction. They may be good, but theyâre second to the chief end of story: âStoryâs chief end is to glorify God and help us enjoy Him forever.â

Film Failures, Countering Cultures, and Storyâs Power
Reflections on The Gospel Coalitionâs recent series about Christian movies. Do we draw arbitrary, legalistic boundaries against story âpreachinessâ? Do we fear the evil âChristianâ label just as others have feared the evil culture?

Beauty and Truth 3: The Chief End Of Man
Story critics charge that Christians should do âmore important thingsâ than enjoy fiction. But a famous Biblical truth reflected in the Westminster Shorter Catechism begins to challenge that notion.

Done To Death: Getting It Right
Last time, I wrote about the reason why I don’t think it’s a good idea to write “milk” in Christian fiction. And I also promised to talk about some books that I think “got it right,” so to speak. So here we go.

No Such Thing As Miracles
Author Athol Dickson: âMagical realism presents the supernatural as a matter of fact, almost as an everyday event, much as science fiction does. But like pure fantasy, magical realism refuses to explain itself.â

Beauty and Truth 2: The Criticism Of Story
We can say nothing is wrong with stories. But what if someone asks whatâs right about them? Donât Christians have a more important mission than enjoying or defending fiction?

Imagine Thereâs No Christian SF Writing Blogs
Either my perception is limited or magnified, or Christian-speculative-fiction blogs really are overly focused on writers. Shouldnât the ratios of writersâ and readersâ material be reversed?

Rearranging Icons 6: Images Of Man
Just as Christ wants us, His âicons,â to exalt the Father and be one with Him as He and the Father are One, so we may want to âexaltâ iconic characters who reflect us. Which iconic characters are your favorites, and why?

Rearranging Icons 5: In The Eye Of The Beholder
Iâm more interested in the idea that readers can have a richer reading experience and writers can tell richer, deeper stories if they understand how this works.

Rearranging Icons 4: Characters Becoming Icons
For every Christian, icons are inevitable. But they must show a process of redemption. Christ the âIconâ of the Father underwent suffering. So should we, as we image Him, and so should art and story characters, which image us.
