When I was in Junior College in the Seventies, I was mixed up in a “splinter church” that was well on its way to becoming an end-of-the-world cult. They also had what are now called Extreme Holiness/Separation beliefs.

Every time I mentioned I was into SF, they would plug “C.S.Lewis’s Space Trilogy”, “C.S.Lewis’s Space Trilogy”, “C.S.Lewis’s Space Trilogy”. To them, it was the ONLY example of Christian SF.

My response was “C.S.Lewis died in 1963. You mean nobody’s written any Christian SF of any consequence since?”

I have never read C.S.Lewis’s Space Trilogy. After all that concentrated hype, I have no desire to. Too much like “Eat this spinach! It’s Good For You (TM)!”
