[QUOTE="PsaltiChrysostom, post: 77161176, member: 408167"] There are a number of Christian fantasy authors out there. Stephen Lawhead wrote Byzantium, about a Irish monk who travels to Constantinople. He also wrote the Pendragon cycle. They are more historical fantasy with Christianity as a major backdrop. Madeline L'Engle is another one with her most famous being "A Wrinkle in Time". James Blish, a noted Sci-Fi author, not necessarily Christian, wrote an intriguing novel about an space-faring race who has no concept of sin, in A Case of Conscience. Arthur C. Clarke, obviously not Christian, wrote a short story, "The Star", about a group of explorers who come across an Pluto-like planet with a vault of the people from an inner planet. They start translating things and discover that the people knew their planet was doomed and since they had no means of escape, they set up a vault to save their artifacts and culture for someone to discover. The team then calculates the date of the nova and how it would have looked on Earth. The light from the nova would have shown up in 2-3 BC, thus being "The Star of Bethlehem". [/QUOTE]
