Christian Fiction Genre – What’s the best definition for the Christian fiction genre? Christian fiction upholds a Christian viewpoint throughout the plot, characters, or both in a positive way. Other genres can be meshed with the Christian genre, such as romance. The Christian aspects of Christian fiction do not have to be overwhelming. A character may grow in their faith or spiritually, or might grow in their understanding of God and His impact on their lives, or as their salvation from hardships or crisis.
While it’s not a requirement, most popular and well known Christian fiction portrays some sort of persecution or prophecy.
