biblical fiction

Biblical fiction is a genre of storytelling that presents fictionalized narratives set in the time and context of the Bible. While based on biblical themes, characters, and events, these works incorporate imaginative elements, dialogue, and details not explicitly found in scripture. They aim to explore biblical stories in a more personal or creative way, often to deepen understanding or evoke emotional resonance. It’s important to distinguish biblical fiction from historical or religious texts: the former prioritizes storytelling and creative interpretation, rather than strict adherence to biblical scripture as an authoritative historical record.
