Why I Wrote ‘The Harry Potter Bible Study’

Pastor Jared Moore: “I wrote ‘The Harry Potter Bible Study’ because I’m trying to encourage Christians to approach their cultures with the same method of interpretation they use when reading Scripture. I believe Christians should be consistent. Please allow me to explain.” · Jared Moore

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 5

In the New Earth, as here in the Old, we won’t worship things, but worship Christ *with* things. Those may include our speculative stories, maybe even resurrected from this world. Four more reasons why this speculation is based on Scriptural promises about the After-world. · E. Stephen Burnett

Speculative Christmas, Episode II: A New Love

…a story of scope and majesty surpassing any tale of science fiction or fantasy the human mind could conceive. · Fred Warren

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 4

Based on Scripture, we can know that God loves stories, we can worship Him now through stories, and we’re destined to worship Him for eternity in many of the same ways. Of course, we can’t take any thing with us after death. Yet our God is a God of resurrection. · E. Stephen Burnett

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 2

Christians have three main views about the afterlife, all within Gospel faith. But should we even bother with studying and anticipating Heaven? What do we and don’t we know about Heaven from the Bible? Should we speculate about that world? · E. Stephen Burnett

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 1

“Your job and your hobbies have no eternal value.” Why do many Christians suspect that belief is true? · E. Stephen Burnett

Heroes

Given the collective angst from the Christian community every year over Halloween, it seems odd to me how little attention is given to November 1. · Fred Warren

Why I Wrote The DarkTrench Saga

Now that I’m done writing The DarkTrench Saga (from Marcher Lord Press), I’ll talk about it. The three-volume futuristic series has had some interesting criticisms, but surprisingly, the strongest reproaches have come from the Christian community. · Kerry Nietz

Shooting At Halloween Pumpkins

At Halloween, do demons really run wild over neighborhoods and souls? Or might Christians “demonize” decorations, to the glee of the actual Devil? This former pumpkin-“killer” explores our actual worst enemies, and the One Who defeated them. · E. Stephen Burnett

An Open Letter To Truly ‘Courageous’ Storytellers

Christians should hate it when people base church services on entertainment. They should also dislike when people base entertainment on church services. · E. Stephen Burnett

Human Nature 2: The Greatest Battle Lies Within

Stories often like to make the real enemy a surprise. But they’re usually external, missing the worst enemy of all: our own sinful flesh. · E. Stephen Burnett

Human Nature 1: On The Enemies List

No good story is complete without some evil, and storytellers like to draw from at least ten common bad-guy standbys. But how do they try to throw in “surprise twist” enemies? And what enemy isn’t on the list of usual suspects? · E. Stephen Burnett

Randy Alcorn on Story, Courage, and The New Earth, Part 2

Author Randy Alcorn explores how he wrote the contemporary novel “Courageous” (adapted from the new film), and how anticipating the physical New Heavens and New Earth can change a Christian’s life forever, starting now. · Randy Alcorn

Randy Alcorn on Story, Courage, and The New Earth, Part 1

Author Randy Alcorn shares how he came to love God-honoring sci-fi and fantasy stories, how such stories point us toward eternity, and why some Christians still tend to avoid visionary novels. · Randy Alcorn

Stories For Christians 1: The New ‘watchful Dragons’

C.S. Lewis wrote about “watchful dragons” on guard against religious trappings that seem incompatible with enjoyment. But many Christians today employ different Churchian Dragons, who tolerate fiction (if they do) mainly if it plays well on their own moralist pragmatic grounds. · E. Stephen Burnett
