What Is Good About Biblical Fiction Novels

By Helene Norris


Writers of biblical fiction novels made their presence known long time ago. The society has been fortunate to have witnessed the best works in the Christian arena. Several of the best writers have long been forgotten but their works are still burning and greatly considered among readers. They usually have brightest and the most imaginative ideas.

Their writings are mostly about good against evil which everybody experiences and loves. They write for the people to envelop them with biblical principles that are inevitable. They do not only consider the spirit of fantasy because their works are considered outstanding. Their works are more than the typical spirit of fantasy because they have adopted the values of the bible.

Some critics and scholars rebuke its existence saying that their pieces are not good for the readers. According to them, fiction is not the best style when it comes to presenting the values of the bible. Many believe that in order to deliver the truth, a more scholarly writing can be done. This reason however is not that appealing for them.

Nevertheless, based on them, if the truth is presented through writing essays or dissertations, who will possibly read them. Perhaps, an old school will but how about the young readers, will they appeal to their pieces. Exactly not, they are more likely to ignore about any formal narrations as they perhaps will find it boring.

The potential readers want it to be more meaningful. How can it exactly become meaningful, surely through writing about the values through fiction. The bible is considered as the most important book through all generations. This is the source of knowledge that declares the truth and thus everyone must know about it.

Others forget though the importance of the bible and why it was written. But, it is the only source of beliefs, not other doctrines in exchanged of this book. Christian fiction presents a history of documenting biblical truths incorporating the world of fantasy. This genre of writing together with the biblical values are now digested by thousands.

Fiction is a category mostly abandoned by Christian publishers and writers. That is very unfortunate. This genre is set aside for futuristic type. Composing a Christian fantasy can be hard because one needs to have an excellent grasp of the bible. In order to be familiar, one needs to read the book from cover to cover.

If not, the writer will never understand if he or she crosses the border between the truth and the false about the scriptures. As you may know, the bible is interpreted by many and not only that, it has several versions. One may not have the same interpretation and this is one of the major problems that people are facing. With the different interpretation comes the various meanings.

With different interpretations come differing meanings, know the standards of writing with regards to the bible. Know your limitations and do not be afraid to deliver those you want to write about. Biblical fiction novels take hard time, understanding and faith. If you believe you can then you probably will. When you write, think about its meaning and how to present it fully not forgetting even a single mark of reality.
