How do I find a Literary Agent (Biblical fiction)?

Question

I am interested in finding a Literary Agent for a Biblical Fiction book that I am writing. Can anyone give me any pointers for finding one?

Biblical Fiction is different than Christian Fiction--my story is from the Old Testament, and is NOT evangelical. It has no Christian message, is merely the re-telling of a fairly unknown Biblical Story.

Here's a list of literary agents who represent clients in the Christian fiction market:

You can do an internet search but your best bet is The Writer's Market Deluxe Edition. It's a hefty price, ranging $50-$60, but it lists all the markets for different genres and also lists agents. The Deluxe edition comes with a CD that gives you 1-year subscription to the Writer's Market online, which they update constantly. You can find it in any place like Barnes and Noble or Borders.

Also, don't leave out some Christian publishers when searching (if you go to a small press you may want to skip an agent because agents take fees and sometimes it's not worth it) because some publish fantasy or alternative history or alternative takes (unless the ending is decidedly anti-Christian in nature) on scripture.

I don't know about agents but if you haven't read "Fallen" by David Maine I think you'd find it interesting. It is a story about Adam & Eve and Cain & Abel and it's very good.
