Come Worldbuild With Me Part 1: Creating a Bible for My Fantasy World
Welcome to my new worldbuilding series! As a Christian fantasy author, I'm taking you behind the scenes as I create an entirely new fantasy world called Petrus - complete with its own Bible based on first-century Judeo-Christian theology.
In this series, I'll be combining my love for history, theology, and fantasy writing to create something I haven't seen done before: a fully immersive fantasy world with the same God and moral code as our Bible, but with completely different historical events and scriptures.
Join me as I share writing advice, theological insights, and invite you to help shape this world!
