Speculative Panel: Worldbuilding as Christian Authors
James L. Rubart
The challenge is making them believable. Even though the Bible is built entirely on a supernatural foundation and is full of supernatural stories, many Christians balk when they hear about supernatural things in novels.
A friend of my mother-in-law told her, “I really love Jim’s book, but wow, he always has fantastical things in them. Is Jim really a Christian?” That cracked me up since any supernatural elements I weave into my stories come straight from Scripture.
So even though my fantastic elements come from the Bible, I have to make people believe they could happen in present day. Of course, the benefit of my type of stories is I have few limits to what can happen, which people have said make my stories deeply intriguing and unique.
