Why We Should Write Fiction For Christians, Part 1
Many voices encourage Christian novelists to aim for secular audiences, and that is surely a worthy calling. Yet less frequently do we urge storytellers to explore the Gospel more directly in fiction that is by Christians, for Christians.

The Spiritual Element
I read with interest a recent conversation on the Enchanted Inkpot regarding religion in fantasy novels. Most of the participants in the discussion were not Christians, therefore their responses gave a broader view than often seen in these sorts of […]

Fans Or Community Or Personal Entourages
Recently I posted an open letter to readers of Christian fantasy over at Facebook. The article centers on what readers can do to promote the books they like with the ultimate goal to send a message to publishers to put […]

‘Harry Potter’ and The Issues Beyond Fiction, Part 1
Does thinking Biblically about “Harry Potter” matter beyond story-discernment practice? At issue are how we define “witchcraft” the Bible forbids, where we believe sin really comes from, and whether we tell the truth even about perceived bad guys.

A Long and Glorious Tradition
If you think speculative stories are (or should) only be a “niche” market, I have a few names: Dante. Bunyan. Visionary fiction’s patron saints, Lewis and Tolkien. Oh, and Psalty the Singing Songbook. Also introducing: the SF Library!

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?

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 […]

Critiquing Critics Of Christian Fiction, Part 3
Many Christian readers have learned to put up with preachiness in secular stories, while some non-Christians (or even professing Christians) can’t stand hearing real Christianity repeated in a work of fiction, even with artistic excellence.

Critiquing Critics Of Christian Fiction, Part 2
We’ve all heard it, and often said it: “Christian novels are too preachy.” But what do we mean by that? Some critics say “preachy” only to mean “Christians speaking and acting as Christians naturally do,” and therefore can’t be pleased.

Another Look At Good Versus Mediocre
Do Christian writers want to write great literature? You know, the kind that will be around for another hundred years (provided Christ’s return doesn’t come before that)? Do we even want to write books that will stay on bookstore shelves […]

Critiquing Critics Of Christian Fiction, Part 1
You’ve likely heard this: “Christians novels aren’t edgy enough. They don’t show what the world is really like. They make everything cleaned-up and black-and-white.” But perhaps we critics should give thought to these questions.

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?
