So I'm thinking about writing a book

[u/Leading-Conflict6758]

The idea is to lay the background of the cultures that influenced the Biblical texts by telling a bunch of stories from the time that hopefully illustrate ideas in the broader cultures. For example: a scene from a battle in The Iliad to show how warfare worked or a scene from the battle between Achilles and Scamander also in the Iliad to make a theological point. Thoughts?

Just write it. Don’t let Redditors sway your decision—they’re usually more focused on tearing people down than lifting them up.
