Vampires and power in the blood

12 January 2010 · by  3 Comments

Authors of Orthodox fiction

7 January 2010 · by  4 Comments

What do you call a group of Orthodox fiction writers? Are they a gaggle? Are they a herd? Are they a zeal? Are they a flock? (“Quoth the Raven, ‘Nevermore!’”) Are they a colony? Are they a tribe? Maybe they are even a pod? Well, whatever they are, there is a site for Orthodox fiction […]

Orthodox fantasy fiction

6 January 2010 · by  5 Comments

Father Orthoduck is pleased that yet another Christian author has written in. And, this fantasy author is a fellow Antiochian Orthodox! Even better, at the end of the book, which is a novella, there is a chapter by the author explaining how his Orthodoxy integrates with his fantasy writing. Let me say that few authors […]

5 January 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

“You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets. — Jesus of Nazareth […]

What does it mean to think Christianly? — part 02

4 January 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 8 Comments

In yesterday’s post, I began to talk about the idea of thinking Christianly. There is, of course, a philosophical component to that, but that is not all that I was talking about. Nevertheless, do let me make a comment on philosophy and thinking Christianly. Not that long ago, a comment was made that I needed […]

What does it mean to think Christianly? — part 01

3 January 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto 9 Comments

Those of you who read this blog know that some of my favorite modern authors are G.K. Chesterton, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis. There is a reason why they are some of my favorites. All three of them majored in the concept of thinking Christianly. Now, that is not a term that is in the […]

A coming of age story from a Christian professor

1 January 2010 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

It seems as though I have unwittingly uncovered a subject too long left not discussed, that of Christian authors who do not fit into the mold of the CBA or the ECPA.  Lately the blog has ranged from vampire chick-lit for teenagers to furry tales to, now, a coming-of-age story written by a Christian professor […]

For those of you wondering about furry comics and what they are, below is the title page of an online furry comic which attempts to present the Bram Stoker Dracula tale as a furry comic. You might find this to be quite interesting. No, this is not a “Christian” effort. It is simply an online […]

G.K. Chesterton on fairy tales

30 December 2009 · by  Fr. Ernesto 15 Comments

The unexpected discussion on vampire tales has now morphed into a discussion on publishing issues in the Christian world, as you can see from some of the comments on my previous posts. This brings up the question of what is the purpose of a Christian writing in the area of fantasy? Why bother with fantasy […]
