I mean, of course, academics who are not teachers of creative writing, but academics for whom this is something we do in addition to (or in some cases instead of) teaching in our area of expertise, rather than as the thing we are expected to do professionally as part of our academic work.

We could probably have more than one volume, with one just focused on sci-fi, and another focused on biblical historical fiction, and probably have enough contributors for each. Who else should be part of something like this?<\/p>\nI have also been wondering whether there might not be a need for, or at the very least room for, a magazine (whether print, online, or both) that focused on science fiction with religious and\/or spiritual themes. They would not have to be central in every instance, and this certainly would not be an outlet for sectarian propaganda under the guise of literature. Instead, it would be for any kind of exploration of religion through sci-fi, whether committed, sympathetic, agnostic, opposed, or merely interested and analytical. How many authors do you think would contribute if there were such a magazine? How often could there be a new issue? How many of you would read it?<\/p>\nLet me end with two things. The first is a great meme that Jeremiah shared on Facebook. In case you can\u2019t tell, it features Karl Barth recommending that St. Paul read his (i.e. Barth\u2019s) commentary on Romans. I love that Paul seems unamused\u2026<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-56485\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.patheos.com\/blogs\/sites\/719\/2019\/01\/Barth-and-Paul.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"453\"><\/p>\nLast but not least, here is a call for papers for a conference exploring the intersection of technology and film:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/relcfp.tumblr.com\/post\/182881975992\/call-for-area-proposals-film-history-33119<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This week\u2019s episode features Jeremiah Bailey, with whom I\u2019ve been connected for a long time as fellow bibliobloggers, but who I recently discovered also shares something else in common with me: we\u2019ve both written and published science fiction short stories!
