A short review of a new collection of stories, Infinite Space, Inifinite God caught my eye, partly because of the recent episodes on Catholic writer Walter M. Miller, but especially because of this lede:
It`s a mixture not often seen, religion and science fiction.
That claim is defensible only with the most crabbed definition of "religion." Science fiction, of all genres, lends itself to religious speculation. I suppose what the reviewer found unusual is that someone could write science fiction within a framework of a traditional, conventional religious belief system, as is true of authors Karina and Robert Fabian. Still, the statement seemed so perversely wrong, it took me a few moments to understand the mentality that could have produced it.
