We have carefully selected historical fiction to make church history come alive. Deborah Alcock (though not writing for young children, her books can be read aloud when they are quite young) is one of our favorite authors of historical fiction. She takes you to France to weep with the persecuted but persevering Huguenots, to Bohemia to walk alongside the godly John Huss, to Spain to cringe as the reformation is crushed under the heels of the inquisition, to Turkey to witness the pain and triumphs of the Armenian Christians under the Turks, to Holland as she fights to be free from the domination and oppression of Spain. Alcock understands the theological issues involved and you will get some theological education to boot.Some additional historical fiction to teach church history are:
The Farrier of Buda by P. De ZeeuwThe Carpenter of Zerbst by De Zeeuw
Quintus by R. Weerstand
