Heidi is a work of literary fiction, not a theological text, and should be evaluated primarily as a culturally Christian novel that reflects 19th-century Swiss Protestant piety rather than as a doctrinal or devotional work. Its enduring value lies in its moral and spiritual atmosphere rather than any explicit Christian teaching.
