The Best Of 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.

The main topic is the typical good versus evil as seen by many readers. There are good experiences and values like love, hope and faith. They write to deliver the message of biblical principles. They do not consider just the fictional spirit but the teachings of Christ as well. Their works are not just mere narrations if you will dig deep into them.

Some may believe that this will not be successful due to its style of writing. Their works can sometimes not appeal to what the others prefer. According to some, fiction is not a good way of presenting the truth. And that, if someone wants to deliver it, a more formal writing can be done in a scholarly manner.

However, the point is if the values will be presented through formal writings, who will read them. Perhaps, some will do but most of them will find the works boring a waste of time. It will result then to them not knowing at all the truth about the scriptures. They will only ignore those scholarly publications.

Most of the readers want their reading experience to be exciting and meaningful still not forgetting the real essence of what they are reading. The biblical values are the major concerns of these novels. This must not be forgotten as many are considering the bible as their source of wisdom.

Others tend to forget and not realize the significance of the book and why exactly it was written. This should be taken as the major source of teachings and not other doctrines. Biblical novels present all about the truth through fiction. This style is admired and given importance 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 the writer lacks the knowledge regarding the bible then he or she cannot possibly write correctly about it. They must know the border of telling the truth and the opposite of it. There are a lot of interpretations when talking about it. It has several versions too. One may not exactly interpret the way others do but the bible bears no multiple meanings, it only has one.

Now, if you want to write your own biblical fiction novels, it will be better to read and understand the book first before proceeding and make your own genre. Studying it may lead to a deeper understanding which will lead you to prove that your work must not be ignored and rejected. It must bear nothing but the truth.
