The Holy Plot
Theology through the lens of story
Theology in Fiction Starter Pack
Are you curious about how theology and fiction connect? At The Holy Plot, we believe that there is no ‘bad’ book; there are only books that portray evil in the world—injustice, damaged and toxic relationships, violence and war, and self-destructive behaviours.
This free downloadable PDF guide helps the curious reader identify major theological themes in their fiction reading. After all, if all art reflects the image of God in some way, then books also communicate powerfully about the nature of humanity and God. This guide is perfect for those who desire deeper reflection on what they read. It also lists five recommended books rich in theological depth!
