Nine years later, it still doesn’t look to me like “Christian publishers”–or publishers in general–are able to meet the demand for Christian fiction.
But what is “Christian fiction”? I would say it’s fiction that’s informed by the truths of the Bible and written in God’s service. That would apply to “Christian anything.” Even–dare I say it?–“Christian politics.”
I think I’ve got to go with “anything and everything.”
We want Christian fiction–if there is even such a thing. Maybe we should be talking about “fiction written by Christians which just naturally displays a Christian sensibility.”
Calling any kind of work of art–stories, music, architecture, painting–“Christian” doesn’t make it so. And if it’s of inferior quality, that’s worse than no “Christian” art at all.
Too much culture ground has been surrendered to the ungodly–way too much. I don’t see how any rational person could deny it. We need Christian fiction. Just like we need Christian music, TV shows produced and written by Christians, Christian men and women in government, Christian schools and universities… Good grief, what were we thinking when we turned all of that over to the antichrists?
