Animals And Christian Speculative Fiction

In short, the Bible is “animal friendly” in that humankind, as rulers, are to be benevolent in the exercise of our authority. But clearly, humans and animals are not equal. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Biblical Cosplay

Cosplay is just makeup and costumes, but the Bible speaks of one ensemble that we should wear at all times. · Mark Carver

The Colors Of The Universe

Is science fiction as diverse as it should be? How diverse is “diverse enough” and who gets to say what the standard is? Should this even matter to readers? · Mark Carver

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

Remembering The Soldiers Who Died

It doesn’t seem to me that speculative stories are short on wars, and therefore people serving the rest of their culture or nation or species by marching into danger and possible death. What novels actually show beloved characters dying as part of their commitment to fight for right? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

What The World Doesn’t Know About Christmas

Ah, it’s Christmas. We celebrate Jesus, good news to the world, because He brings peace on earth, He gives joy to all mankind. Yet so obviously, many people do not have peace or joy and do not understand the promise of Christmas. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Which are your favorites and which of the new shows do you think might be promising? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Slenderman: Requiem For Responsibility

We Have Arrived

We now live in a world where Christian speculative fiction has been on “The Tonight Show.” Govern yourselves appropriately. · John Otte

Redefining Creationism

The focus on evolution vs. creation distracts from what Genesis 1 actually teaches. · R. L. Copple

Manipulation

Where there’s money, there will be manipulators of any system. · R. L. Copple

Has Speculative Fiction Aborted Controversial Positions?

Can a speculative story interweave an issue like abortion into its plot effectively? Especially faith-based speculative fiction? · R. L. Copple

I met the Lord the summer I was sixteen. A November or two later, I visited a local Baptist church for a Thanksgiving Eve service. That was forty years ago, and I no longer remember how I came to be […] · Yvonne Anderson

Not So Sleepy After All

“Sleepy Hollow” left John W. Otte a little sleepy. And a little angry. Find out why in today’s post. · John Otte

More Thoughts About Science and Speculation

Depending on the version you read, the word “science” occurs twice in the Scriptures. In Daniel 1:4, the Babylonians sorted through the Jewish boys they’d taken captive, hoping to find some they could train in their own ways. They looked […] · Yvonne Anderson

A Fantasy Character Looks At Science Fiction

Based on an early review of the book as “a solid bit of social science fiction,” the reader bought a copy, only to find he’d been hoodwinked. Righteously disgruntled, he wrapped up his resultant two-star review by saying, “Characters reciting […] · Yvonne Anderson

Where Are All The Speculative Titles Going?

Today’s post is going to be a departure from my “Last Son of Earth” series in order to bring you some highlights from the ICRS (International Christian Retail Show) in St. Louis. For the uninitiated, ICRS has been the primary […] · Christopher Miller
