Christmas Un-Specials 2011

Purely for fun and no profit, this year I made up a list of 50 holiday-related TV movies that (with a few exceptions) will never be produced — I hope. · E. Stephen Burnett

Beyond Story Battles 2: Anticipating The After-world

Great stories do more than help us fight shallowness and false “safety” in the Church and society. They point us to reflections of God’s truth and beauty, on this old Earth, and even more on the coming New Heavens and New Earth. · E. Stephen Burnett

Dark Is The Stain: Hallow’s Eve

I began this series because I wanted to explore the dark themes of Christian fiction. I don’t want to just discuss it; I want to touch it. I want light so bright that anything dark distracts, and darkness so black […] · Kaci Hill

Shooting At Halloween Pumpkins

At Halloween, do demons really run wild over neighborhoods and souls? Or might Christians “demonize” decorations, to the glee of the actual Devil? This former pumpkin-“killer” explores our actual worst enemies, and the One Who defeated them. · E. Stephen Burnett

Dark Is The Stain: Chiaroscuro

Delving into Darkness Welcome to the new series! Church brat points to whoever knows which song “Dark is the Stain” comes from. I decided, in honor of the season, to go with a dark speculation of story. As Brian Godawa’s […] · Kaci Hill

A Look At Family Friendly Fiction

Unfortunately, the term “family friendly” has become entwined with the idea of “safe.” But safe from what? What is it that can do eternal damage to a soul? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Christian Speculative Fiction In A Postmodern World

On one hand, Christian speculative fiction authors believe, in contradiction to our culture, that there are absolutes, that belief is essential, that beauty is recognizable, and that now pales in comparison to one day. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Speculative Love: An Introduction

No, this is not a manual for exobiological reproduction, alien mating rituals, or human-vampire hybridization. My apologies if that is what you expected when you arrived here. Given that the name of this blog is Speculative Faith, on which topic we spend […] · Fred Warren

Short Story Long

We spend a lot of time talking about novels here at Speculative Faith, but I’d like to make a quick pitch for short stories today and list a few places you can find well-written, short spec-fic written from a Christian worldview or at least non-hostile to a Christian worldview, for free or cheap. · Fred Warren

Post-Apocalyptic And Dystopian Fiction

Christians are actually cutting-edge in this genre. But why is our culture currently focusing on ways we could reach The End? · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Perils Of Speculative Cooking

An article on the perils of Romance fiction, Amish stories, tales of the bonnet, and other subversive incitements to lust, lasciviousness, and unsanctified imagination caught my eye the other day. I experienced a thunderbolt of inspiration. Divine inspiration. The author, and the rest of us, have missed the true spiritual threat lurking among the stacks of supposedly “uplifting” reading material burdening the shelves our our supposedly “Christian” bookstores. · Fred Warren

Is Entertainment A Waste Of Time? Part 1

How many times did I see my mom shake her head as she clucked her tongue at whatever TV program we kids were watching. The thing was, my dad often was watching too, which put Mom on an island by […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller

What Gives You Nightmares?

Last Friday, our guest blogger, author Wayne Thomas Batson, wrote about fantasy as a vehicle for soul searching. His remarks reminded me of what I read from Anne Rice when she announced her conversion (since revoked) to the Catholic faith. […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller

$#@£₣! My Christian Fiction Doesn’t Say, Part 2

Is a designated Bad Word always bad, even if it’s used in Fictitious Cussing? Some arguments, both against and for. Against: “Why do we need the cussing?” For: “Cussing helps show the evil in our world.” And what does Scripture say? · E. Stephen Burnett

$#@£₣! 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

Guest Blog: Mike Duran

Is “Christian Speculative Fiction” an Oxymoron? By Mike Duran The label “Christian Speculative Fiction” is an oxymoron. At least, that’s one of my going theories. Believers who enjoy speculative fiction often bemoan the lack of such titles in Christian outlets. […] · Mike Duran
