To Boldly Go…

Instead of boldly going where no man has gone before, Enterprise tepidly rehashed Star Trek cliches. Now I’m worried this could also happen with the upcoming feature film “Star Trek Into Darkness.” · John Otte

The Forgotten Reader 3: Sharing The Joy

Many blogs advise how to pitch projects to editors. But how would you pitch fantasy itself to *readers* — parents, Lewis/Tolkien-or-bust fans, or church friends? · E. Stephen Burnett

John Bunyan – This Is No Tall Tale

We think of speculative fiction as a fairly new art form. After all, who ever heard of anyone writing about fantasy worlds and that sort of thing in, say, the 17th century? · Yvonne Anderson

The Geek’s Prayer

Geeks pray differently. And that’s a good thing. · Bradley Huebert

Doctor Who: From ‘The Bells …’ To ‘Hide’

“Who” viewers, what have you thought of series 7.5 so far? · E. Stephen Burnett

Speculation And Biblical Elements

The Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour (CSFF) is currently featuring Broken Wings, Book 2 of the Angel Eyes triology by Shannon Dittemore. I haven’t had time to read the first round of posts yet (those that went up […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller

“I Don’t Read Fiction,” She Said, Disapproving.

Apparently the church connection reassured her that I was safe to talk to. But to make sure we’d have no misunderstandings, she told me with self-righteous conviction, “I don’t read fiction.” · Yvonne Anderson

The Stories That Matter

“It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. . . . Those were the stories that stayed with you.” ~ Samwise Gamgee · Gillian Bronte Adams

Story Shutdowns

This may be unfair, but some themes, phrases, or single words in story descriptions make me instantly shut down. · E. Stephen Burnett

Bring In The Gospel, But Leave Your “Isms” At Home

The simple gospel is a gem of unfathomable proportions. So Christian writers, make sure it’s the gem the reader finds, not the box it’s in or the filigree that surrounds it. · Yvonne Anderson

Exploring Reality

A Christian fantasy writer wants to show that Earth and the universe have spiritual supernatural laws that affect humans, non-human, or non-terrestrial characters. For us, Christianity is not only about semantics/doctrine/rules. We understand that the world is magical. · Carole McDonnell

Resurrection, Part 3: We Are Risen; We Will Rise

Christ is risen. Next comes a truth echoed by heroes such as The Iron Giant and Iron Man: human resurrection, which comes in at least two stages. · E. Stephen Burnett

Lars Walker: Beyond ‘Wannabe’ Fantasy

This week Lars Walker’s “The Christian Fantasy” column gained many readers and reactions. Naturally we asked for a sequel. · Lars Walker

Resurrection, Part 2: Christ Is Risen

Divine energy courses through His dead body. Light blazes. His heart beats. Tissues repair and muscles tighten. Some wounds vanish; five others stay as evidence. Resurrection begins. · E. Stephen Burnett

In The News: Mid-March 2013

“The Hobbit” on DVD, reviewing the “Left Behind” dramatic audio pilot, “Doctor Who” promos, St. Patrick, a low view of what Jesus can handle, and one theologian’s “Jack the Giant Slayer” criticisms. · E. Stephen Burnett

A Brief Introduction To Gene Wolfe, My Favorite Contemporary Author

If you love speculative fiction, either as reader or writer, Wolfe is worth your time. If you’re a Christian wanting to improve the quality of the books you’re reading or improve your craft as a writer, Wolfe is essential. · Matt Mikalatos
