- The legends of King Arthur and other tales of medieval chivalry, especially the Quest for the [Holy Grail]?.
- The results of Christian fusions with other cultures, such as Vodun.
- Stories about angels, [guardian angels]?, devils, and tales of making pacts with the Devil (see e.g. Faust?). Also stories about the devil carrying a pitchfork? and having a forked tail and horns.
- [Pilgrim's Progress]? by [John Bunyan]?.
- Some (including [Christianity Today] magazine in [this article]) classify certain modern works as Christian Mythology, such as C. S. Lewis's Narnian Chronicals or Oscar Wilde's [The Selfish Giant]. Some people would include J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in this category, and perhaps "At the Back of the North Wind", "Lilith" and "Phantastes" of Lewis' example [George MacDonald]?.
