30 Christian Fiction in the Ancient World
Christian fiction presents stories in which Christian belief, morality and spiritual experience form an important part of the characters’ lives and the development of the plot. Its historical novels often explore faith under pressure, religious communities, moral choices, forgiveness, redemption and the relationship between personal conviction and wider social change.
Christian historical fiction may be set in any period, from the biblical and early Christian worlds to medieval Europe, the American frontier and the world wars. It should be assigned when Christian faith materially shapes the story, characters or intended readership, rather than merely appearing as part of the historical setting.
