Children Don’t Need Magic: A Response to Joshua Gibbs

Magic is fun in fiction, but children don’t actually need magic to experience the awe of the Creator. · Mark Carver

The Quantum Mechanics God of Alternate Realities

Are alternate universes fair game for Christian writers of speculative fiction? This post takes a look at why so many science fiction stories feature alternate realities based on quantum mechanics–and suggests ways a Christian worldview can be compatible with this kind of tale. · Travis Perry

The Way It Should Be

One lazy evening a while back, I was scrolling through the movies on Amazon Prime and came across an indie film called Coherence. A quick search on Google pulled up favorable reviews, so I gave it a shot. I’m glad […] · Mark Carver

Those Meddling Kids

It takes just a quick glance at movies, TV shows, and books to realize that our entertainment is packed with attractive and unmarried characters, and a good portion of those that are married look and act like they aren’t married. […] · Mark Carver

How Science Fiction Portrays the Future of Christianity

Science fiction tends to write Christianity out of its view of the future. How can Christian sci fi writers respond? · Travis Perry

The Power of Christ Compels Us

If you’ve ever walked into a grand cathedral, ask yourself: was your first thought “Wow, God is so wonderful!” or was it “Wow, these architects and craftsman were incredible!” · Mark Carver

Building Legacies

Architecture is the language of empires, dynasties, and conquerors, in real life and in our stories. · Mark Carver

Dreams of Other Worlds

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

Sharper than Any Double-Edged Sword

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

Does This Avatar Make Me Look Fat?

It’s easy for our imaginations to outpace reality. It’s a blessing and a curse of being human. Naturally, we imagine what we crave, but what if it’s far out of reach? · Mark Carver

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

Standing Up to the YA Fantasy Impuritans

As Christians and as fantasy fiction fans, we have a duty to stand up to bullies, including the “Impuritans.” · L. Jagi Lamplighter

Io: Pest Control

So how does speculative entertainment treat the problem of these supposed human pests? Get rid of ’em. · Mark Carver

Growing Diversity in Fantasy Genres Gives Us Hints of Eternity

Science fiction and fantasy are growing up and embracing the stories of traditionally marginalized people groups. · Daniel Whyte IV

Why Bill Maher and Mark Steyn are (Mostly) Wrong about Stan Lee and Superhero Fantasy

Why did two pundits condemn superhero stories because they’re not “sophisticated literature”? · E. Stephen Burnett

The Nature of the Beast

How does the idea of monsters fit into the Christian walk? · Mark Carver

Halloween and the Aesthetic of Evil

“Halloween is all about darkness and ugliness.” But Christians who say this confuse aesthetics with morality. · G. Shane Morris
