"Classic" Christian science fiction

[EClayRowe 871]

I'm unsure of the proper mechanics of submitting a poll here, but I'm launching a book club for Christian science fiction in March.

 

There will be a "classic" and a "modern" read each month. I will have nominations in later months, but Oxygen by John Olson and Randy Ingermanson is the modern selection for March. 

 

So:

 

Out of the Silent Planet (CS Lewis) or A Wrinkle in Time (Madeleine L'Engle)?

Both are excellent, but I'm going for "Out of the Silent Planet" for your debut classic read.

[suspensewriter 5,708]

Me, too.

aw, man. I haven't read either one. I'm curious what classic Christian Sci-Fi is like.

Love C.S. Lewis, so Out of the Silent Planet is my pick.

[Guest SelinasBonfire]

I tried a couple of times, but I could never get into A Wrinkle in Time; but I am a fan of Lewis, so Out of the Silent Planet of course.

If you do Out of the Silent Planet, will you do the whole series? 

Yes, that one gets my vote too.

Are you going to feature non-famous works too? Undiscovered authors?

With more time to prepare, I'll be accepting nominations and doing a runoff poll. A "sequel vs. sequel" is very possible as a theme for later months.
