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 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.

This genre may have abandoned by a number of Christian good writers and publisher and that is unfortunate. They set this for futuristic type writings. Writing one of these novels are indeed hard. It is not easy as the person must read the whole bible. Well, reading may not be enough as it must be understood 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.
