Jesus Christ: Return Of The Warrior-King

Our stories may rightly emphasize Jesus the humble sacrifice for sin. But less often do our creations also explore Christ the conquering warrior. · A. T. Ross

The “Alien Work” Of God Part V

So last time, we sat at the foot of the master, C. S. Lewis, and discussed the theological underpinnings of his Space Trilogy. For those of you just joining us now (or who don’t feel like going back and reading […] · John Otte

Participating In Media Is An Act Of Worship

Might parents believe all humans are born sinners, yet live as if their children’s worst problem is outside worldly influences? · Jared Moore

‘Hobbit’ Hopes and Other Happenings

“The Hobbit” teaser finally arrives, Gandalf’s and Dumbledore’s first-century ancestors seek the newborn King, the dangers of appearance-based book discernment, Christmas un-specials, and: why should Christians hype “The Hobbit”? · E. Stephen Burnett

Speculative Christmas, Part 5: A New Star

Hold it…Christmas is over, right? Not so fast, pilgrim. · Fred Warren

The “Alien Work” Of God Part IV

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Not this blog series. At least, I hope none of you think that. But I’ve noticed a pattern. Whenever I sit down to write one of these columns, NASA announces that they’ve found more extra-solar planets. · John Otte

Speculative Christmas, Part 4: A New Peace

They don’t understand the real meaning of Christmas. Why won’t they stop meddling with it and leave us to mark the birth of our Savior in reverent contemplation? · Fred Warren

Speculative Christmas, Episode III: A New Joy

Hmm. I wonder why they’re so happy? · Fred Warren

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

Magic Realism, Part 2

Stories with “magical realism” may show us that not only are there monsters in the mind, there are hopes and dreams. They also remind us that we cannot practice a form of divination upon our unexplainable moments — claiming that this must always mean exactly that. · C.L. Dyck

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

Dark Is The Stain: Suspense.

Sunday morning Fred posted a lovely series of Advent readings and Scriptures, and yesterday he posted on Hope ( I swear, we didn’t plan this). Now, I gotta say, just as over the last decade I’ve grown incredibly fond of […] · Kaci Hill

Speculative Christmas, Episode I: A New Hope

Even an imperfect story can help begin a conversation about the Real Story. · Fred Warren

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 3

This Thanksgiving I’m thankful for God’s Word — His perfect written revelation that He has promised will last forever, even into the New Earth. What would it be like to read the Bible then? How can that eternal perspective help us enjoy His Story now? · E. Stephen Burnett

The “Alien Work” Of God Part II

Two weeks ago, I stirred up a little bit of debate by asking all of you, our humble readers, what you thought about aliens. Is it possible that God has created life on some alien world? Possibly even sentient alien […] · John Otte
