Guest Post – Shiny Writing Tips From Mal Reynolds and Firefly
I love space opera and sci-fi, which means I love Joss Whedon’s short-lived space western series Firefly, and I especially love Malcolm Reynolds. The Mal Reynolds character is what you get if you made a TV series about the adventures […]

Thunders Of ‘Thor’ Echo Biblical Truths, Part 2
All truth is God’s truth, whether accidentally echoing in a pagan myth or a modern movie such as Marvel’s “Thor.”

Speculative Stories Keep Coming
Supernatural stories on the little or big screen undoubtedly bode well for books. The two media seem inter-dependent. Some of the movies were born from previous print sources (books or comic books), and these movies will foster new works of a similar kind. The question is, where will the Christian writer fit into this explosion?

Thunders Of ‘Thor’ Echo Biblical Truths, Part 1
Thor’s pagan myths remind us of Scripture’s truth, real worship, and longing for a good and noble King.

The Next Big Thing
Christian writers are often accused of being tone-deaf on popular culture, behind the times, and generally out of touch. Well, I’m here to help.

Good Versus Mediocre
I found myself asking, Is one person’s good book another person’s mediocre fare? And if so, is there in reality a standard of art writers should be aiming for and readers should be looking to support?

It’s A Miracle!
As readers and writers of speculative fiction, we’re marinated in the miraculous. It’s easy to take for granted. All sorts of things happen that transcend the comprehension and capabilities of mortal men.

The Potential Of Affectionate Parody
Many ways exist to make fun of a story, not all of them hostile. What do you think about affectionate/hostile parody, takeoff and satire? Have I missed something? Is it okay to spoof something we enjoy? What about people we know?

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.

Salvaging Scripture For Our Own Story Parts
If human authors’ intentions and genre guidelines are worth respect from readers, then surely God as Author, His intentions and reading Scripture rightly, are all worth even more. Yet some novels’ flagrant misuse of Scripture and Biblical concepts, using only scraps of it to fit sporadically into another story, is dubious.

What Is It About Narnia?
What is it about the Narnia books that we love?
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
, first in the order C. S. Lewis wrote the series, has four main characters and none of them is the hero. With the omniscient point of view, readers do not benefit from close character identification. The plot is straightforward, without multiple subplots, and the writing wouldn’t be considered lyrical. Why, then, do we love these books so much?

Redeeming Santa Legends For Delighting In Grace
At Christmas, when it comes to Santa and other issues, do reflexive “we’re to be different” lines jump to our minds? We need to balance that half-truth with enjoyment of God’s good gifts — including celebrating holidays and feasting, which Scripture does support, for God’s glory.

Fighting Man-Centered Monsters In Christian Fantasy
Stories like “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” that make a Christ-figure a means to fulfilling one’s destiny are little better than atheism.
