What are some good Christian themed novels?

My favorites are Book of the New Sun and Consider the Lobster.

James Baldwin's Go Tell it on the Mountain is a brilliant book with heavy themes taken from Black Christian culture. It might not be what you're looking for though; it doesn't paint the religion in a very favourable light.

I prefer manga (Japanese for comic book).

Eastern religion is far superior. So don't waste your time on anything perpetuated by European themes that they stole from the East.

Fedora is a convient stereotype towards people who actually are antisocial and manipulative.

VALIS is such a good recommendation even though I never see it come back. It's almost explicitly a religious (and definitely is at the end) book, and very enjoyable too.

>>6470069
Shusaku Endo's "Silence" is another great novel, OP. I also enjoyed Graham Greene's "The Power and the Glory".

>> No.6470421

Christ the Lord- Out of Egypt by Anne Rice.

I also got a kick out of the Left Behind books, but I can't recommend anyone read them and still have a clean conscience. The Antichrist was the only good character in the whole thing.

The Brothers Karamazov, Divine Comedy, Confessions

>> No.6470490

>>6470483
Everyone tells me The Brothers Karamazov is Dostoyevsky's best novel, but I've never gotten around to reading it. Crime and Punishment really knocked me over and took me a while to emotionally recover from though, I dunno if I can handle that gamut of emotions again.
