Great question!

I think it’s crucial for Christian authors to address these controversial topics, especially through fiction. The counter-Christian culture has had the upper hand in literature for too long, and it’s time for Christian authors to share their views. However, these topics should not be portrayed graphically. Rather, our reasoning should be explained through allegory, metaphor, and other means. Direct discussions about right v.s. wrong have their place. However, fiction provides the unique opportunity to illustrate (rather than tell) the consequences of sin and the rewards for obedience.  Readers need to know how these moral issues play out practically, rather than just saying, “this is wrong” with no elaboration.
