Subject: I'm writing a book, need to know |
Bible Note: If you are writing a novelization, I suggest you review two others that I consider significant contributions. The first is an example of what not to do, while the second brings the story to life through descriptive detail and cultural insight. This one is not faithful to the scriptures: "The Gospel According to the Son" by Norman Mailer. In the introduction, Mailer slanders the authority of Scripture by having Jesus say that the gospels contain things He never said or do things He never did, and excuses this by saying the authors hearts' were in the right place. The other, which I consider to be faithful to what we believe, is "The Master: A Life of Jesus", by John Charles Pollock. The writing is smooth and easy to read, the settings are rich with impact and the narrative expands upon what is in the Bible in a way that does not offend. Parable |
