017 - Redemptive Fiction: An Introduction

In today's episode we are introducing a new topic of conversation, "Redemptive Fiction." The best stories, the most enduring and endearing stories, have elements of THE story within them. Today we are going to consider several of the categories by which we can consider the elements of "The story" within stories:

(1) Allegory

(2) Clear 1-to-1

(3) Fantastical Fiction with Christian themes

(4) Virtues and Elements of "The Story" which show up in secular fiction

(5) Opportunities for discussion when worldviews collide

(6) Connection points for evangelism in secular fiction
