The second part of my conversation with Becky Miller is up at A Christian Worldview of Fiction:
Worldview Thinking with Mark Bertrand, Continued
Today, I answer questions about how worldview thinking influences writers -- and how it doesn't. A little slice:
"...I think artists tend to see either though a wide angle or a zoom lens. Some are trying to capture the big picture in their work, and others focus on a single thread. C. S. Lewis fits in the first category. His best novel, if you ask me, was Til We Have Faces, which is an elegant re-working of the Psyche myth that ends up saying something profound about the nature of holiness and our self-deceiving rebellion against it. But can you imagine Flannery O’Connor writing that book, or Graham Greene? They were also influenced by Christian theology, but it came out in different ways."
