What Is Good About Biblical Fiction Novels

By Helene Norris


The people behind the various biblical fiction novels are known to be good writers at all times. The people are lucky enough to read their works even in the present time. Some of them have been forgotten though, however, their legacy still remains. They were burning with fashion and deep faith of delivering their intentions to the people.

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 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.

The point is, if they write long essays or dissertations about the values, truth and criticisms, who will dare to read them. Perhaps, the scholars will but how about the target readers. There is a high possibility that they will not care about those long writings. They probably will read but forget and ignore.

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 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.

This style of writing has been abandoned by many Christian writers and publisher. It is unfortunate somehow for some. They set this genre as only good for telling the false future. Writing about Christian fantasy may not be that easy as he or she needs to understand it fully. To understand is to read each book.

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.

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.
