writing down my beliefs

[Eddi]

I have decided that for my own personal benefit I am going to write down my own personal beliefs into a book

I'm approaching this as an exercise in creative writing and will probably start work on it come the weekend

It will basically be an exposition of "Monadic Christianity" which is what I call what I have currently come up with

I was hoping that by writing it down I will figure it out more, that's my motivation for writing it down

What things should such a work cover? What should it explore? What would you want such a work to go over? What should I put in it?

It's your book.

You start by brainstorming ideas on paper.

I have plenty of ideas

Just wanted to get a sense of what other people would expect such a thing to cover

What would you want such a work to go over?

I would want such a work to go over a Monadic Christian worldview. Basically, the epistemology (what is knowledge and where does it comes from?), metaphysics (first principles), teleology (the goal of the universe and creatures), cosmology (how it originated), theology, anthropology (what is it to be human?), and axiology (what is the highest good?). These things are all interconnected, of course.

Thanks that's hugely helpful and will help me structure the book although I'm not yet sure how

Maybe starting with something smaller, like an essay, that covers the main topics like @mangalavara suggested, would be a good way to approach it.

I'd be most interested in the parts that explore value/virtues/ethics that sort of thing.

Does "monadic" refer to the same or similar idea that Liebnitz explored with his "monadology"?

I don't think so, I got the idea from neoplatonism

I think it is an excellent idea. Good luck with your project.

I'd want to know the practical aspects: any practices a Monadic Christian undertakes, any festivals they celebrate.
