I've been thinking about how hard faith is to write about in genre fiction. Like, Tolkien and Lewis are always the stand-outs, but I don't just mean “writers of faith” working in the genre, I mean representing what you'd call “acts of faith” in the actual story. 🧵

And I wonder if part of this relates to the emphasis on “active protagonists.” Usually it fantasy, etc, you want the plot to drive forward because of what the protagonist is doing, but faith is weird, because it requires surrender.
