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 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.

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.

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.

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.
