What Is Good About Biblical Fiction Novels

By Helene Norris


Several novelists of biblical fiction novels have made their presence known among people for a long time. The people are very fortunate to partake with the wonders brought about by them. Some may have forgotten the authors but not their works. The authors do each piece with great imagination and firm belief.

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 people discouraged its existence declaring that it is not of good use among the readers. Many argue that fiction is not a better idea to present the truths of the scriptures. According to them, if someone wants to explain the facts, it would be better to produce quality essay or anything that contains the truths.

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 readers will prefer reading exciting but not forgetting the true essence of the story. The values will still be taken as the major essence of publishing the works. This must be remembered all the time as the biblical principles are the sources of knowledge among people. They, mostly the Christians, do based everything in the bible.

Some may forget about how important the bible is and the purpose of its existence. The bible is a book of values and beliefs. For some Christians, other doctrines might be more important and that is how one must say they are mislead by wrong belief. Fiction presents an outstanding history of the truth that is incorporated in the fiction world.

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.

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.
