Episode 215: 215. Unpacking Theology in Sci-Fi Storytelling, With Richard Coffeen

In today’s episode, Dr. Andrew Compton concludes his series on teaching theology through fiction by engaging with author Richard Coffeen, a PCA pastor serving in the Chicago metropolitan area. Coffeen has penned an intriguing science fiction novel that, much like the works of Brian Godawa, blends narrative storytelling with Christian apologetics. However, Coffeen's imaginative tale takes readers on an otherworldly journey, exploring the concepts of space missionaries, uncharted worlds ripe for sharing the gospel, and a pastoral perspective on artificial intelligence.

Coffeen's novel is titled The Discipling of Mytra and can be found here for purchase.
