Missionary Fiction: Parabolic Teaching for the Modern Day?

The Christian religion has been developed mainly from scriptural sources—the writings that form the Bible. Secondary sources have included such works as the Nicene Creed, the Chalcedonian Formula, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Westminster Confession of Faith.

Third in importance have been books penned by scholars of the faith, such as Augustine’s De Civitate Dei, Aquinas’ Summa Theologicae, and Calvin’s Institutes of the Christian Religion. But presently, these traditional venues appear to be taking a back seat to popular works of fiction that include Christian themes.
