Was Tolkien A Racist?

How could Tolkien be accused of being a racist when his races were, well, made up? No, there are no hobbits in the world. No, there are no elves. No, there are no goblins or orcs made be the magic of an evil wizard. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Great Art And Story

Because fiction is first a form of communication, I think stories should pay attention to what Scripture says about our correspondence with one another. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Avengers Endgame: Ending White Patriarchy (Mostly) Gracefully

Did Avengers Endgame have an anti-patriarchy agenda? Did it deliberately remove white male figures from the story universe? Maybe, but it did so mostly with grace. · Travis Perry

The Bible And Myth

Has speculative literature undermined our belief in God’s word? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

What Does it Mean for a Story to be “Christian”?

There are at lease nine different ways to define a story’s relationship or lack thereof to Christianity (we’re counting 🙂 ). And that’s not all. · Travis Perry

Why do we have dreams of other worlds? Do fictional visions point to a reality beyond our own? · Travis Perry

Where are the Hard Science Fiction Writers who are Christians?

Hard science fiction is the subset of sci-fi that tries to be as scientifically realistic as possible. Why do so few overtly Christian authors write in this genre? · Travis Perry

Books Have Themes?

Using the vehicle of theme, writers say something. Whether that something is trivial and mundane or significant and profound depends on how unafraid they are. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Do you get a thrill out of seeing images of darkness or sinful acts in a story? Where does this enjoyment come from? · Mark Carver

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

Leaving Michael Jackson

We have begun – too late, but better than never – our cultural reckoning of the fact that the King of Pop was a monster. · Shannon McDermott

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

Safe Fiction Is Dangerous (Or, A Review Of How To Train Your Dragon)

Ideas that float in under the radar, however, enter our minds unchallenged, co-exist with the truth, and someday, after they’ve been fortified, may even challenge the truth to a shootout. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Are We Still Reading Animal Farm?

The point of the allegory is clear: communism is no answer to the inequities and economic difficulties of the workers because those who benefit will be those who rule, not everyone else. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

A Few Thoughts on “Generation Snowflake”

Are younger generations actually different from the past? Does “generation snowflake” isolate itself from criticism? How are we to respond to criticism and confronting others? · Travis Perry

Would God Come Along Too?

What if we were to make a break for it and leave this rock for another? Would God be invited along for the ride? · Mark Carver
