Topics: Thanksgiving
Revisiting the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special
The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special wasn’t great, but it had one good thing–it inspired the character of Boba Fett…which brought us The Mandalorian…

Give Thanks for Fantastic Stories, Even If They Are ‘Purely For Fun’
Scripture doesn’t speak directly about creative works, but it does speak about how God’s word and prayer can transform gifts that we receive with thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day And Speculative Fiction Revisited
In many respects, we’re witnessing in the US the change in the Thanksgiving Day celebration from a major holiday to a minor one.

Giving Thanks, Despite . . .
Are there stories in the speculative genres that show thanksgiving as a desired end?

Redeem Your Thanksgiving (Day of the Action of Thanks)
Thanksgiving Day began as a day set aside to thank God–it’s become many other things since then. Let’s redeem our Thanksgiving by remembering the overt and literal action of prayerful thanking.

Thanksgiving Day Meditation
My first observation about Thanksgiving Day is that it is a responsive action. People give thanks because they have first been given something.

Thankful for the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special?
The 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special is widely considered one of the worst pieces of entertainment of all time. Yet even it leaves me reasons to be thankful.

Does Narnia “Rewrite” Christianity?
When something like Schnelbach’s article comes out, especially from a reputable fantasy source such as Tor, I suspect a number of readers have digested this idea that misrepresents Lewis’s views. Many may have even embraced it, so I think it’s imperative to take a stand against such an understanding that undermines a man known for his Christian worldview. And for his many fiction and non-fiction books that deal with Christianity.

Thanksgiving Day And Speculative Fiction
In many respects, we’re witnessing in the US the change in the Thanksgiving Day celebration from a major holiday to a minor one. The presence of Thanksgiving or harvest day celebrations seem more apt to be important to a culture if the people are in tune with the growth cycle. As our urban society has become divorced from the way food gets to our table, we seem less thankful and more inclined to take for granted the food we eat.

Thankful Characters-A Reprise
Despite privation, death, dangers, and the concerns for the future, the early colonists found reason to rejoice. They exhibited a degree of contentment, a gratitude for what they had rather than resentment for what they had lost.

And Then There Is Thanksgiving
So often, when Thanksgiving rolls around, which it does in the US every fourth Thursday in November, the question arises: what are you thankful for?

Even The Best
Everything’s been done before. All the original stories were discovered by Adam and Eve, and the rest of us just experiment with variations on a theme.

What Are Spec-fic Characters Thankful For?
Across genres and galaxies, to kingdoms and spaceships hither and yon, the call went forth, asking the question, “What are you thankful for?” Here are thirty of the more memorable answers.

Thanksgiving–An American Holiday
One way that Christians writers can introduce themes consistent with a Christian worldview might be to include holidays like Thanksgiving. Or in the case of speculative fiction, invented holidays with a religious underpinning.

When Geeks Give Thanks
For my first post at SpecFaith, I’d like to present a list of things sci-fi and fantasy geeks are thankful for.

Thanksgiving Day And Speculative Fiction
In speculative literature, Thanksgiving can be much more than just a celebration. Whether or not a story world holds harvest festivals and how they are celebrated can define a culture and make it come alive.
