Beauty and Truth 1: Four Sets Of Stories

Of the Christian novels you’ve read, which seem neither beautiful nor truthful, or only one or the other, or both? · E. Stephen Burnett

Beauty and Truth 2: The Criticism Of Story

We can say nothing is wrong with stories. But what if someone asks what’s right about them? Don’t Christians have a more important mission than enjoying or defending fiction? · E. Stephen Burnett

Beauty and Truth 3: The Chief End Of Man

Story critics charge that Christians should do “more important things” than enjoy fiction. But a famous Biblical truth reflected in the Westminster Shorter Catechism begins to challenge that notion. · E. Stephen Burnett

Beauty and Truth 4: The Chief End Of Story

I love story, yet recognize that Christians may give poor justifications for fiction. They may be good, but they’re second to the chief end of story: “Story’s chief end is to glorify God and help us enjoy Him forever.” · E. Stephen Burnett
