   Then a lot of people probably think _Water World_ was a documentary - and   
   herein is the difference. Science Fiction deals an aspect of science and how   
   characters deal with it. _Lucifer's Hammer_ deals with how characters handle   
   an asteroid strike, which    
   is a scientific possibility.   
      
   In the same way, a book like _Left Behind_ deals with an aspect of doctrine   
   but is not, in itself, an eschatological work, in that it deals with how   
   characters handle the basic premise. That's why it would fall in the category   
   of Christian Fantasy. The    
   fantasy aspect is the characters and how they deal with the ramifications of a   
   doctrine as it unfolds.
