Shining Light In ‘The Dark Knight’

“You’ll hunt me; you’ll condemn me,” Batman says at the end of The Dark Knight. “That’s what needs to happen.” Some Christians cried: “No it’s not! Heroes don’t lie!” They miss the point. · E. Stephen Burnett

‘A Wrinkle In …’ Truth?

Despite its classic status, Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time” is kind of boring me. But are the author’s apparently universalist beliefs even more concerning? · E. Stephen Burnett

Done To Death: Getting It Right

Last time, I wrote about the reason why I don’t think it’s a good idea to write “milk” in Christian fiction. And I also promised to talk about some books that I think “got it right,” so to speak. So here we go. · John Otte

Rearranging Icons 6: Images Of Man

Just as Christ wants us, His “icons,” to exalt the Father and be one with Him as He and the Father are One, so we may want to “exalt” iconic characters who reflect us. Which iconic characters are your favorites, and why? · E. Stephen Burnett

The “Alien Work” Of God Part IV

$#@£₣! My Christian Fiction Doesn’t Say, Part 1

Here I hope to represent and discuss both sides of the Fictitious Cussing debate, pros and cons, rebuttals for and against. Why? Because I’m still sorting through it all myself. And last year I thought a little differently than I do today. · E. Stephen Burnett

Refuting ‘universalism’ Slanders Of C.S. Lewis, Part 3

Lewis was not a universalist. He was not a closet compromising-with-Satan “pagan” either. He believed the essentials of the faith: that he was a sinner and that Christ, by grace, saved him. That, at the core, makes one a Christian. · E. Stephen Burnett

Refuting Universalism Slanders Of C.S. Lewis, Part 2

In C.S. Lewis’s “The Last Battle,” the character Emeth did not at first believe in Aslan, yet still somehow crossed over into paradise. Christians get confused about this. Some use it to reject Lewis as a universalist. Is that a right reading? · E. Stephen Burnett

Refuting Universalism Slanders Of C.S. Lewis, Part 1

Some Christians are just nutty, and nuttiness does not revoke salvation. But many carefully discerning Christians have been deceived into believing they should fear C.S. Lewis because he supposedly held heretical belief in universalism. · E. Stephen Burnett
