Satire. If you're looking for a place to start, I suggest Religion Within the Bounds of Amusement. You might also like Orthodox Humor.
Ambrose Bierce wrote a classic of wit and satire, called The Devil's Dictionary. This book follows in that tradition, and comments on any number of things in American life.
There is a considerable buzz among New Testament scholars among the discovery of a nearly complete manuscript to the book of the Bible called Romans.
Inspired by a visit to a "seeker service." To those unacquainted with Christian lingo, this means a church service which tries to reach out to people seeking God--but "reach out to people seeking God" really means, "put on a circus."
Read a 26th century historian as he extols the poetic beauty of a light bulb, praises Darwinism as a truly great myth... and analyzes a rather strange archaeological find.

Short stories, besides the assorted creations and longer fiction. If you're looking for a place to start, I suggest Unashamed.
This is a piece of wisdom literature about a man who has been searching for the Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, in One Volume, Containing a Careful Analysis of All Cultural Issues Needful to Understand the Bible as Did Its First Readers... and why he is so very unhappy when he finds what he desires.
A dream about another world.
A fictionalized Gospel account set in contemporary America. It tries to convey how genuinely shocking a person is described in the Gospels--and how he'd still be stunning, today.
The story of a traveller moving deeper and deeper into a monastery--in more ways than one.
What, exactly, is the nature of evil? Read about three painters who tried to show it.
There is more to this man than meets the eye. He appears quite ordinary; he's learned that skill well enough...
Stephanos begins when a boy enters a temple to get away from his sister...
Why was a picture of beauty so disturbing?
Abigail loves to sit down at a keyboard and improvise with her father. Why is she afraid one day?
A disillusioned young man wants to escape into another world, a magical world, and finds an old man who might help him.

Socratic dialogue: philosophy with more than a dash of drama. If you're looking for a place to start, I reccommend The Watch.
A dialogue which has a brilliant alumnus return to his school and discuss philosophy of education with its founder.
A slightly updated look at Plato's Allegory of the Cave... or perhaps not really an updated look at all. Should the most famous piece of Socratic dialogue have been called the Allegory of the Television?
God is spirit, and he invites us to be spirit too.
On the surface, it's about a watch that has another way of telling time. Under the surface...
Does Einstein's theory of relativity say anything that relativism does not? Or does relativism say anything that Einstein's theory of relativity does not?
Is there a difference that matters?
A sleek car under starlight, a different kind of information technology, a deep, blue-robed host, and the wisdom of a Socratic dialogue in a science fiction world.
Yonder is a science fiction story that starts in a world where mind and body are separate. Or at least that's one way of looking at it. You could also describe it as a miniature Divine Comedy, a journey which begins in Hell and ends in Heaven, but uses none of the traditional imagery: Hell is a place where you can have any pleasure you want, while Heaven is a place with intense suffering.
