Science Fiction.

Catalog description

Science fiction explores extraordinary futures made possible by plausible scientific technology. While the genre is only one hundred years old, its speculative roots go back to the beginnings of literature. As C. S. Lewis knew, science fiction is a powerful genre to explore issues important to Christians, including the purpose of the cosmos, a deep understanding of natural processes, the place of the supernatural in the universe, a longing for immortality, and the endless search of a home fit for the restless human heart. This course is designed both to trace the genre’s history and to redress the dearth of Christian literature on the topic.
