@the-fledgling-artist I think there’s an obvious difference when we’re writing explicitly Christian fiction. On the implicit end of the spectrum, good writing is just good writing.

At the same time, Christians should see things non-Christians don’t. They should (theoretically and by and large) see deeper than non-Christians. The Christian worldview is one jam-packed with meaning, so our stories should be more meaningful.

So, personally, I don’t think the art of writing varies that much between Christians and non-Christians, but I’m of the party that thinks they should feel distinct. …If your novel sounds like a secular novel, that’s not necessarily bad (so long as your worldview is on-target), but the goal should be to advance beyond that to a fuller sense of life, reality, truth, and purpose, that stirs up life in our novels.
