Why did you write The Remnant?
A few years ago I was discussing dystopian settings with a friend — a post-apocalyptic world where Christ hadn’t returned. I started playing around with some concepts. What if there were no religion—no institutional Christianity and no Bibles? Would suppressed Christ-followers try to connect with each other? What forms would this black-market Christendom take? And how would political power react? Does Christ need institutions? Or do institutions ultimately corrupt Christianity? I wanted to give readers a context for considering these questions.
