Podcasts about sci fi novel

Allegories. Christians love allegories! That’s a story element of having a person, place, or thing meant a a direct picture of something else, like Jesus or moral virtues. Some people think Jesus did this in parables, or C.S. Lewis did this with Narnia. Others point to Pilgrim's Progress as a prime example. Even if they're right about that, might some readers and authors focus so much on possible “allegories” that we miss great stories’ deeper meanings?

So in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, the character Timorous represents fear and Mr. Worldly Wiseman represents worldly wisdom. In our day, distinction of genres has been muddled a bit, so we tend to regard any story with symbolic elements in it as allegorical, but it was not always this way. C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, for instance, are not allegories, even as often as they are referred to as such, and Lewis himself said as much. The parables of Jesus could be said to contain allegorical elements, some more than others, but they are not strictly speaking themselves allegories. Jesus definitely deals in the world of virtues and vices, but he is most immediately interested in the world of human beings, their hearts, their words, and their deeds. “How Not to Read the Parables,” Jared C. Wilson The reason for the long history of the misinterpretation of the parables can be traced back to something Jesus himself said, as recorded in Mark 4:10–12. When asked about the purpose of parables, he seems to have suggested that they contained mysteries for those on the inside, while they hardened those on the outside. Because he then proceeded to “interpret” the parable of the sower in a semi-allegorical way, this was seen to give license to the hardening theory and endless allegorical interpretations. The parables were considered to be simple stories for those on the outside to whom the “real meanings,” the “mysteries,” were hidden; these belonged only to the church and could be uncovered by means of allegory. How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Gordon D. Fee and Douglas Stuart 1. Jesus's parables aren't just allegories Sometimes the Lord interpreted His tales this way. For example, He says the seed is like His word and different soils are like different hearers (see Mark 4:13–20; Matthew 13:18–23; Luke 8:11–15). But we may miss His main point if seek out the Secret Allegories. No less top church fathers seem to have started this trend. Famously he read many allegories into the Good Samaritan tale. But the central point is to answer, “Who is my neighbor?” At other times He simply said, “The kingdom of heaven is like…” Meaning the whole parable says something about His kingdom. What follows might be a prophecy of doom in the end times. Or it might be an illustration of human behavior fit for His reign. His parable may be about groups, individuals, morals, or salvation! In either case, “he who has ears to hear, let him hear.” 2. Pilgrim's Progress is allegory; Narnia is not Many readers fondly remember John Bunyan's classic quest tale. The allegories start simple but accessible, especially for Puritans. “Christian” is a Christian. “Evangelist” is. Apollyon is just a demon! Then as we've previously explored, the allegories get complicated. God, angels, the Bible, and Heaven are literal. So are good and evil. At one point Moses himself cameos as a Law-enforcing antihero! Altogether, Bunyan is both less and more creative than we thought. However, we needn’t impose our view of Progress For instance, many Christians learned to like Narnia by accepting the common belief that Lewis put “allegories” into his fantasy tale. Stephen recalls one article around the movie release in 2005. The writer meant well, but made up all kinds of silly “allegories.” He believed the Pevensies are apostles and weapons are prayer. Lewis himself specifically says outright that he did not do this. Aslan isn't an “allegory” for Jesus. He is Jesus, working his good will in many worlds across a fantastical barely glimpsed multiverse. One's view of “allegory” shouldn't overturn clearly stated words. Otherwise we'd all end up reading our own ideas into the Bible too! 3. Forced allegories may ruin some stories Frankly, forcing allegories into stories risks rejecting their real truth. With limited allegories, Jesus made sure His parables carry layers. With mixed/complex allegories, Pilgrim's Progress has aged well! By avoiding direct allegories, Narnia can be subtle yet also overt. And for new Christian-made fantasy, we can expect the same. Kids and grown-ups can lose themselves in the story, not pulling it apart for useful parts, but being surprised by deeper meanings. History shows this is a far more powerful way to read stories. Instead of making them into Teaching Tools, as if stuff we make up could replace God's word, stories help us see our own responses. This is a far more human emphasis closer to imagination's purpose. And for new writers out there, we encourage going deeper. Allegories look like ultimate meaning, but they're really 101 level. Example: any sword may evoke Ephesians 6. But it's first a sword. You don't have to limit this idea to the word of God or even prayer. Swords have more resonance in Scripture than just one text. They're tools of men and angels alike to defeat or restrain evil. So don't reduce the concrete object to some spiritual abstract. Really this comes down to how we see the world. Do we expect a bodiless “spiritoid” eternity? Or one where matter itself matters? Scripture promises a union of tangible New Earth and New Heaven. Ultimately our stories must hearken to this reality. So study deep! Com station Top question for listeners How do you look for deeper meanings in the Bible and stories? Next on Fantastical Truth Next week is Groundhog Day, and we've already seen this story: Your favorite Christian author, who usually talks about book updates and inspirational life anecdotes, is suddenly posting about controversial political stuff. Should readers impose “no politics! no religion!” rules on story creators who feel strongly about a topic? Or might we expect more from authors posting or not posting hot takes?

This podcast and other resources from Lorehaven focus on readers. That's why, when aspiring writers post questions like, Where can I find an agent? or Will you look at my unpublished manuscript?, we don't have much to share in that department. Until now. We're journeying into new lands. This month we're launching the Lorehaven Authorship within the Lorehaven Guild on Discord. Let's explore how these new digital channels with pro livestreams and a fan-focused Book Festival will help writers cultivate their God-given imaginations.

Why our Author gives us imaginations How can writers sometimes fall into ‘writicism' traps? For a while, many Christian fantasy writers seemed hyperfocused. Blogs and conferences focused mainly on the craft of writing. And some complained about publishers not being interested. Some did try these books. Only a few succeeded. How come? My take for 20-ish years: not enough writer focus on our Only in the last decade-ish have we gotten better at fan outreach. We've also seen more writers get serious about their faith in Jesus. They've earned trust with more readers and therefore succeed. Do fantasy fans like writing more than other fans? Still, we've found that unlike other genres like biography, mystery, and historical romance, fantastical fans enjoy the craft of writing. Some write fanfiction or other stories just for fun. Others share their stories with friends or family. Still others have aspirations for indie or traditional publication. But writers must not hope publishers or fans will make them happy. The best authors are already happy, or joyous, for other reasons. Maybe they're simply really ambitious or gifted, as non-Christians. Or maybe they're Christians and find their joy/happiness in Christ. How does fantastical creation give us joy in Jesus? In any case, if you're a Christian, create stories for Christ's glory! God has called you to worship Him. Only in this can we be happy. Worship includes biblical practice of His gift of imagination. That's why we make things for His glory and for our happiness. This joy can begins today, yet is also practice for eternal joy. And this pursuit is our “chief end”—before all the challenges of plotting vs. pantsing, or whether to seek agents vs. indie-publish. How will the Lorehaven Authorship help you find joy? In the Authorship, published pros will train creatives in the craft of writing. However, we'll also help you discover your purpose for your imagination. Why did God create you? And why do we feel this drive to create other stuff? If you sense the need to know this greater godly mission, welcome aboard! 2. How we grow His gifts into writing skills How has this biblical joy kept us going over decades? To repeat: God gives us creative imagination to glorify Him. So His divine purpose empowers us for creative challenges. Personally, Stephen can testify that I've been renewed by this biblical mission for over 25 writing years of minor wins and major losses. Even when the day job boss says, “We need to lay you off”? Even when the editor says, “This project isn't right for us? Often Stephen has asked himself, “If I never got published as a ‘pro novelist,' could I still write, if only for my joy in Christ?” How will the Authorship help writers grow their craft? I'll put my 25+ years of creative struggles to work here. So will other pro novelists. This reflects our shared need for training. After all, you can't go directly from “Let's write!” to “Let's change the world with our stories.” Don't skip that big step in between—the step of Christians helping one another grow our creative gifts. For example, later this month I'm hosting a fully public livestream: How to Sell a Sci-Fi Novel in Just Twenty-Five Easy Years Saturday, Jan. 31 6 p.m. Eastern (3 p.m. Pacific) exclusively in the Guild Future livestreams will be available for all Authorship members. Apart from livestreams, we'll share this training in every room of the Authorship—from C.S. Lewis's three-stage view of story-making, to creative challenges like the “Christian” label, to the thorny issue of whether fictional characters can curse. How will authors reach fans at the Book Festival? Lorehaven has spent years connecting authors not just with other authors, but with faithful readers. So the Authorship will also feature the Lorehaven Book Festival. Anyone in the free Guild can visit the Book Festival to browse virtual booths. Yet only members at the Pro Novelist level can host their own booth spaces. They can recruit readers, share links, or host Q&As—for any length of time. 3. How ‘terraformers' can change this world What's the state of the Christian fantastical world? We'd love to see more Christian-made novels in sci-fi and horror. As reality-observant persons, however, we must admit the truth. Teen/YA women's fantasy continues to rule these worlds. A day may come when all subgenres live in harmony and success. But it is not this day. Bad publishers? No. Limited/quiet readership. Why do we need not just writers, but “terraformers”? To fulfill this future, we need spaces to help these genres grow. Lorehaven is generational. That's why we call for terraforming. Maybe the Lord has blessed you with success you'd like to share. Or maybe you're not a writer, but you want to support writers. You can become an Authorship Terraformer, sponsoring this work. (Only after supporting family, local church, and faithful groups!) How will the Authorship grow fantastical fiction? Our ultimate purpose: offer even more resources from Lorehaven. More library titles. More reviews. Digitally published book quests. Perhaps even more episodes of this very podcast, shared to all. Right now our main limitation is not willingness or skills, but time. Thank the Lord, Lorehaven is a sponsor-supported digital mission! Still, if He brought other supporters our way, we'd be glad to grow. Com station Top question for listeners If you write, which groups and mentors have helped you grow? Comment from @‌johnfollis2357 about episode 219: I am forever grateful to these people for putting this wonderful drama together. I won’t spoil it much here, but there is a part in Glorious Appearing that had me convicted of my sin and my need for a savior several years ago. And as a result, I was converted to Christianity. A follower of Jesus Christ. God saved me. And I did not do anything to earn it. It is all his doing. Next on Fantastical Truth Imagine, if you will, that Christian Author X creates a futuristic tale in which cyborg detectives explore the boundaries of good and evil. That seems cool. But how does that compare with, say, Christian Author Y's fantasy story in which verses and prayer are like magic, people and place names are anagrams for virtues, and the king represents Jesus Christ? Many fine Christians get confused by Author X's story but get impressed by Author Y's story—because, after all, it's allegory! Is this kind of allegory, however, really a more “Christian” kind of story?

Swaim wrote a novel called The Climb, currently available as a lush, all-color PDF, as well as in an ereader-compatible format, and in physical form. THIS is a sample of the audiobook version of The Climb, read by the author, a man named Michael. It's just the first three hours. The full thing can be had for a scant twenty dollars by visiting the Small Beans Patreon Shop at patreon.com/smallbeans/shop. Your money will go directly to support Mike in a trying financial time, and unlock the audiobook as an MP3, M4B (the preferred format of reader apps like Audible, Apple Books, and etc.), and indexed chapter-by-chapter folder for those who prefer a navigable playlist. ALSO: Features one other Small Beannouncement, so make sure to stay for the end of the beanginning. SYNOPSIS & PRAISE Sinno is about to take part in an ancient coming-of-age rite for his people: climbing as high as he can up the Great Tree that comprises the entire universe. No one knows what wonders and mysteries lurk in the misty branches above. All Sinno knows is that he sometimes hates himself, and he doesn't want to let anybody down. This is a book about things including, but not limited to: alcoholism, robots, crippling depression, a magical talking rock, what's inside the Mystery Box, falling in love, hitting yourself in the head, evil orange fungus, the Tree Pope, CRACKED, Picasso, and the meaning of life. I sure hope it helps. "The book is heartbreaking, it's weird, and it's very, very funny." - Robert Brockway "There's nothing quite like The Climb. A classic, fantastical, epic hero's journey except for the parts where it isn't...and, as always, a book that's really f*cking funny. It's a love poem, it's a dick joke, it's a celebration of art and a middle finger to those who try to squeeze a buck out of art, and it's quite possibly Michael Swaim's masterpiece." - Daniel O'Brien

When we hear about the climate crisis, it can often be framed as a future or somehow distant dilemma. But environmental justice advocates point to the many ways present-day discriminatory practices and policies have resulted in stark instances of environmental racism here in the U.S. One acclaimed Connecticut author is using his latest work of science fiction to reframe the climate crisis as inherently local, all while confronting issues of race, class, and gentrification. Tochi Onyebuchi's Goliath envisions his home of New Haven in the not-to-distant future, ravaged by climate crisis and abandoned by the mostly-white class of people who can afford it. Like his previous work of fiction, Riot Baby, Goliath carries pressing real-world implications. This hour, he joins us to discuss.
