Christian novel
A Christian novel is any novel that expounds and illustrates a Christian world view in its plot, its characters, or both,〔''It's Not Your Grandmothers' Christian Fiction Anymore'', by Deborah Bryan, presented at the Tri-Conference 2007, April 11–13, 2007 (Topeka, Kansas), ()〕 or which deals with Christian themes in a positive way.
==The tradition of Christian fiction==
Christian novels have a rich tradition in Europe, which goes back several centuries, and draws on past Christian allegorical literature, such as Dante Alighieri's ''Divine Comedy'' and John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress,''The Holy War''. Twentieth century proponents of the Christian novel in English include J.R.R. Tolkien, G. K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, and Madeleine L'Engle. Aslan in Lewis' ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' allegorically represents Christ, for example, while L'Engle's ''A Live Coal in the Sea'' explicitly references the medieval allegorical poem ''Piers Plowman''.〔L'Engle's title is drawn from the line "And all the wickedness in this world that man might work or think is no more to the mercy of God than a live coal in the sea."〕
Many novels with Christian themes also fall into specific mainstream fiction genres. For example, J.R.R. Tolkien's ''The Lord of the Rings'' is viewed as mainstream fantasy, while Julian May's ''Galactic Milieu Series'' is viewed as mainstream science fiction, in spite of the references to the work of Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Similarly, G. K. Chesterton's Father Brown stories are mainstream detective fiction, even though the main character is a Catholic priest
