A great post

without comments

Some days I don’t even need to write… I can just point you to really great posts. I read this post by Jeff Wofford titled The Christan Storyteller’s Dilemma, and it was awesome. You should read it. It made my evening. Here’s how it starts:

There’s no good way to tell a Christian story.

The gospel is perennially uncool. Any story that points to the gospel runs the risk of inheriting its uncoolness. A Christian yarn may end up sounding like a sermon. It may come across as moralizing, over-hopeful, or lacking the secular sheen that modern readers demand. A story designed to draw people to the gospel may end up repelling them instead.

How can a Christian writer craft a story that appeals to the culture while pointing beyond it?

Go read the rest.
