Kingdom Come

Humans desire an ideal kingdom, a longing that Scripture promises to fulfill both spiritually and physically. · Yvonne Anderson

This Is Fiction Legalism

Obvious legalism is not the only legalism, and is discerned based on Scripture, not feelings or rules. · E. Stephen Burnett

Looking For A Few Good Words

I’m choosy about books. I’m not so particular about genre, but I’m a terrible snob where the quality of writing is concerned. I want some depth to a story. A satisfaction of the spirit. I’m less concerned with a story’s […] · Yvonne Anderson

All Fiction Is Fantasy

A common Christian criticism of speculative genres is that they aren’t rooted in “reality.” But is that really such a bad thing? · Randy Streu

Why I Don’t Shut Up About ‘Harry Potter’

Years after the final Harry Potter novel and final film, the Harry Potter issue still matters to discerning Christians. · E. Stephen Burnett

Contemplations While Sitting on The Porch Snapping Green Beans

Only in an advanced society do we remove the tip ends of beans. Some say this unnecessary practice removes important nutrition and fiber. High-end restaurants often leave the tips for the sake of being fashionable. But I break them off […] · Yvonne Anderson

Teaching Story Transitions 6: Launching Teens Into Culture

Rather than fearing these years, parents can encourage teenagers to practice story discernment and enjoyment for God’s glory. · Jared Moore

Realm Makers: Go Beyond The Blogs

Realm Makers offered more than cosplay and shared fandom. It gave deep doctrinal magic and a chance for Christian fans to better “incarnate” their love of fantastic fiction. · E. Stephen Burnett

From CAPC To Realm Makers

As the Realm Makers conference begins, enjoy my speculative-story-related articles at Christ and Pop Culture about Christ-figures, superheroes, faith-based films, and apologetics vs. imagination. · E. Stephen Burnett

Left Behind: A Rapturous Remake

Escapist world of end-times novelty, or fictional fulfillment of real prophecies? However we look at “Left Behind,” here’s how we can explore the movie remake. · E. Stephen Burnett

More Thoughts on Science and Fiction

Is the phrase “Christian sci-fi” really an oxymoron? · Yvonne Anderson

Speculative Faith Movie Missions: Intro

Christians defend movies because they’re entertaining, morally edifying, or even evangelistic. Yet we have greater reasons to enjoy visual stories. · E. Stephen Burnett

The Empire Slides Back

We can concede a hero’s or nation’s internal flaws without denying the hero or nation are truly great. · E. Stephen Burnett

Iconoclasm, Part 2

“Calvinist“ Christians: don’t waste your images, and the fantastic imagination of Scripture we often ignore in favor of words and doctrine. · Brian Godawa

Star Trek Into Fun Yet Generic and Derivative Darkness

The latest “Star Trek” film has great cast, visuals, and action. But the story ends up derivative, the worldview one of “distractism,” and the titular “darkness” generic and dull. · E. Stephen Burnett

Word Vs. Image, Part 2

Brian Godawa: Would conservatives scold Jesus for sharing confusing stories instead of tightly organized three-point sermons? · Brian Godawa

Resurrection, Part 4: Creation Will Rise

Jesus resurrected from the dead. Yet God’s Story also says resurrection will spread to “the creation itself,” Earth and beyond. · E. Stephen Burnett

We Are Not Storyless!

The Author has never lost control or taken a back seat in his writing. His will is always moving forward. So who are you, O Character, to claim you know better than the Author what is needed in his story? · Christopher Miller
