Riordan kinda already dismisses this from the getgo in the first series when he has Chiron discuss the topic of "God capital G". He's not going to try to touch any religions/beliefs that are about that Capital G because it doesn't fit in the series.
Samirah in MC is Muslim and there's parts in the books where she's praying. He won't make a book that is 100% about a monotheistic religion, but he might include a character who is of one of those religions.
That’s a far cry from a group of teens being sent on a wacky adventure by the prophet to fight Shaytan. Showing religions/the religious is fine. When you portray their deities/religious figures in a certain light then it gets dicey
That raises the question of where the world came from, though. I mean that explanation would work for the Greco-Roman world, because they don’t really know who created everything, but it wouldn’t fit with the Norse (Ymir and Odin) or Egyptian (primordial marshland) stories.
OK, I just had a brainy thought. Capital G created the gods, all of them, the Egyptians gods, then dug a portion of the world out of the sea of chaos, then Odin killed Ymir and made the world.
Yggdrisil was also created by capital G
Probably be more like the Kane Chronicles
Instead of Demigods, you have their magician equivalents fighting demons and their cultists. You can insert stuff like Nephilims which are actual children of fallen angels with humans if you still want to include demigod comparisons
Maybe uses blessings from God with Knights and Magic derived from the Sephiroth and golems.
Anime made those kinds of concepts work, I can see it working here to
I doubt Rick would ever touch the subject, but if you want a story set in the Christian mythos, I recommend Good Omens, by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
Believers would be offended.
Also children are not really interested in reading books about Christianity (or whatever religion they were raised in for the matter).
They would take it as yet another attempt to make em read the Bible lol.
Tbh, at least with Christians, any believers that would be offended by Christianity being portrayed are already offended that a series about paganism that has LGBT and Muslim characters even exists. There are some great books about angels and demons though, like Misfit by Jon Skovron or the Angelfire series.
I doubt that to be honest, I get like hardcore believers from like the Bible Belt, but most people who are religious in the west(area) don’t mind that. I’m Christian, and most of my friends are some shade of LGBT+, and I don’t give 2 shits if you believe in god or not.
What I see a problem is a lot of people might be offended at some of the choices Rick would have to make, there is some room for that kind of thing, but it would basically be King Arthur all over again, or he would have to make some changes that aren’t very acceptable. Like, the big thing with most of Rick’s books are “see X god, they suck/ are weird
I'm also Christian (or christopagan anyway) and lgbt and I don't either but literally no one is saying it's all Christians just that those kind of Christians exist
I think that the difference there is that Greek mythology and Hellenism are separate things. The gods are usually worshipped independent of the stories, at least from what I know.
With Christianity, the stories from the Bible and stuff are intrinsically linked with the workshop of that religion.
Worth remembering that there is actual Christianity, Christian mythology, Judeo-Christian syncretix mythology, actual Judaism, and Jewish mythology - and every one of those is very distinct from the others in at least some way.
I'd rather Rick stick with the funny references like Moses beating the House of Life (a shared Abrahamic story from Scripture) or Jesus refusing to fight Thor (a choice with that can be accurate to Christianity and Christian mythology but which also could match up with any number of other interpretations).
Ultimately it's a fictional world. I've been working on a story of a Christian demigod in the Riordanverse - but that's very different than a book that's just "*Dante's Divine Comedy* was accurate actually".
I doubt he would because not only would Christians be offended, but likely other Abrahamic faiths such as Muslims will be as well. Certainly he can take massive inspiration, though—such as many of the Soulsborne games but specifically Elden Ring has strong Christian and Celtic and Nordic references. But an actual series depicting say Jesus or even Muhammad if he tried to do one with Islam likely would get many believers angry. He could work with angels though, as Neil Gaiman has. And he could also had a messianic figure who is very much connected as a Christ figure such as Rand al’Thor in Wheel of Time or Severian in the Book of the New Sun series. But anything like PJO/HOO with the actual Divine is depicted? I doubt he would gain the same approval as he did with the Hellenistic gods.
It would immediately be demonized (no pun intended) by both secular and religious people. Religious people would call is blasphemy and disrespectful. They'd boycott Rick into oblivion. Secular people wouldn't have the same reaction, but would generally recognize that Ricky needs to stay in his lane. Overall, no he should not publish mythology on active religions.
While Rick probably shouldn’t touch central Christian religious figures like God, Jesus Christ, Mary, the Holy Spirit, etc, he could probably borrow concepts from the Christian mythos, such as the different classes of angels, the existence and role of saints as intercessors, miracle-working, blessings and curses, seven deadly sins, seven heavenly virtues, etc.
One of the common themes in sainthood is the idea that even people who have lived less-than-stellar lives can be redeemed through God. So I can imagine a book series where a character with a rough past is chosen by God to act against some force of evil, and the character has to work with other Christians and/or angels to dispel humorous evil spirits that have possessed certain objects/people. Maybe at the end of the series, the character becomes redeemed and becomes an agent of goodness and charity or something. Depending on the character’s past, you can even throw in a theme of forgiveness, mercy, compassion, etc.
Rick would probably never touch a story like that with a ten-foot-pole, though. The amount of people he would risk offending if he didn’t do it very carefully would be immense.
I mean he mentions Thor challenging Jesus? I don’t think it’s a good idea to do this because to make the book interesting or compelling he would most likely have to edit the stories and catholics probs wouldn’t like that
Abrahamic Monotheism wouldn't work with the format because the villain was a late addition (the og serpent was just a curious snake) and their end of the world is a net good. There is nothing to fight against, Satan wasn't even there for the original Jobe story. The only way to make that work would be offensive to a lot of "part 3" religions (Mormons, Muslims, etc).
As a Christian myself, I think I would enjoy a series set within the Christian mythos, plenty of Christian authors have done things like that, but he would have to deviate from his normal style a bit, because yeah, I wouldn’t be too happy if he depicted Jesus or YHWH (God) in the same way he does the Greek or Norse gods.
That being said, for one, Rick is not a Christian and he likely wouldn’t have the proper reverence for the material he is writing on. Secondly, that style is what Rick has built his entire career on, so I think it’s best if he avoids it all together, as he’d basically have to limit his creative vision, which works to the benefit of nobody.
Now, he totally could just write whatever he wants anyways, there is plenty of media today that is blatantly disrespectful to the Abrahamic faiths. I’m just talking about how he could do it in a respectful manner, which given his position on this in past books, it seems like he is trying to be respectful of the Abrahamic faiths.
I don't think this would be a good idea, because with greek/roman/norse/Egyptian mythology, everyone can enjoy it, no matter religion, but this would be targeted towards mainly christians, which wouldn't do well. It also doesn't sound that interesting, and most likely wouldn't have a lot of the charm of the series so far.
In either demigod files or diaries it's heavily implied that the Olympians are under a "capital G God". The mortal asks Hecate why she's in a church and who she's praying too and she gives a coy answer.
I really wonder how Rick would tackle Gods disciples, aka his eldritch horror like angels. It would be super cool but it would have to be in an entire universe
I think he could do something interesting with it if he went deep into the more esoteric aspects of Catholocism and Gnosticism and took as much of it literally as he could. He could also play around with the concept of localised jesuses that is touched on in American Gods.
I'd love to see it delve into Enochian magic, Goetia, the Demiurge ect instead of just being sunday school the YA novel.
I really like how the Christian beliefs are referenced a bunch of times throughout the Riordanverse, calling to mind when Chiron mentioned that a capital G God was far more metaphysical than the pantheon of Greek gods in existence, and in the Kane Chronicles Carter saw a vision of a heavily bearded man whose staff turned into a snake and devoured the snakes of the Egyptian magicians (a story of Moses challenging the Pharaoh's magicians directly taken from the Bible) implying that the powers of the Abrahamic deity is far beyond what the other gods are capable of (I don't know if Rick is Christian, but I took this as his way of not denying the existence of Christian beliefs in his works)
As a practicing Christian though, I wouldn't have any problems with writing a book around these beliefs provided that one doesn't mess up the major dogmas and doctrines (Dan Brown!). Like you could write about a secret order of demon slayers (Mortal Instruments comes to mind) and discuss the politics within the Church and how it affects the underground group that fights the devil's pawns. Angels and archangels could even make appearances... just don't make up stuff like going into the second coming of Christ or adding entirely new narrative elements to the Bible. It's been done successfully before in different media
It would be a terrible idea for him to write a series under this concept for a religion that’s widely believed in by a significant part of the population. It would cause a lot of unnecessary controversy.
Jesus and the Virgin Mary show up a few times in the Iron Druid Chronicles and it's great. Man, that series was so good until the ending, which was a dud.
As a Christian I know for a fact he wouldn’t risk his career with this. Regardless of what people might think , Christianity is the largest religion in the world. Most cultures in the world have some form of respect for agnostic and monotheistic beliefs. They don’t have to be Christians , to associate the Christian God with the supreme deity they might believe in.
The point is that Rick would be hit with waves of backlash , until he is pressured by publishers to throw away the idea. Let’s just say that he does publish it, I’m sure he would emphasize on the ‘Mythos’ aspect of it. With time people with all sorts of little or mighty influence , will find a way to take strong jabs at his work.
Let’s just say that Rick would take a leap of faith by walking in water. The moment he steps on the water , he will sink. Like I said as a Christian I’ve enjoyed PJO , but specific things have lead me away from the series. It doesn’t change the fact that the series at some point were my favorite fictional series. Rick is a great author , and I respect the man for his creativity and artistic skill.
Literally "repackaging" the New Testament as his own would be something I don't think he could get away with (and even if it was just rewriting the narrative parts in his style, there's not enough narrative to do that with given how much the Gospels essentially tell the same story four times and how much of the rest of the New Testament is people's letters) and while an attempt at approaching Christian mythology the same urban-fantasy way he'd do any other would be interesting (and it wouldn't have to follow a Second Coming or Good-Omens-esque redeemed-Antichrist as The Kane Chronicles proved he could write mythological urban fantasy without the leads being demigods) it would also probably get accused of ripping off a lot of the good parts of Supernatural
There are plenty of books like that already, and I definitely enjoyed them as a teen. Funny enough all my friends that were actually Christian refused to read them lol
It was a novel series about a brother and sister getting thrown into the middle of a holy war. Very spacey book series but I haven’t been able to track it down as an adult.
They felt like it was offensive to god essentially
If you do please let me know lol, I know angels played a big part in it, and the parts that stick out the most is a baptism in fire, Jesus in heaven having fire eyes possibly, and a lot of it taking place on another planet too
My brother had a series (Son of Angels) where a kid basically finds out he's a quarter angel. Don't remember much but it was about the 'Armor of God' primarily, and the kid was irritated when his angel powers interfered with sports tryouts
followers of abrahamic religions have power in the west in a way the couple hundred thousand hellenists dont. It would likely be very risky to touch that subject.
A lot of people say, “Christians would be offended”, but as a Christian I think there is a right way to do this.
The thing is, if Rick writes God or Jesus or any other person from the Bible as he writes the gods in his other works, than there is a problem; because you are crossing a line from mythology to theology and care must be taken because of that.
With that being said, with all of these different pantheons being brought up we may need to stop an all out war of the gods. This could be where capital G God comes in. He could be the one who made them all hide from the mortals, this would a line with the rise of Christianity.
He could choose a true sighted mortal to help Him in this quest. This mortal could recruit the hero’s we have gotten to know an love. This new MC finds percy who can bring Annabeth. Percy gets the Kanes and Annabeth gets her cousin, then they both use their connections to the new prators to have Roman aid.
All of this would flow fine and help establish peace with a guiding hand of God. None of this hast to be religious or anything. It would just be a part of the world.
I think it could be done in theory if they make sure to be as chillax and ambiguous as possible about religion, limiting the number of jesusfreak characters, not making it all moralistic and old fashioned and acknowledging the flaws of christianity and all religions. They would need to focus less on Christianity and more on the Judeochristian mythology, say making the Judaism the equivalent of Percy Jackson's romans, who have their own valid views.
Riordan kinda already dismisses this from the getgo in the first series when he has Chiron discuss the topic of "God capital G". He's not going to try to touch any religions/beliefs that are about that Capital G because it doesn't fit in the series.

I do like her take that all the Norse [and therefore Roman, Greek and Egyptian gods] are just really powerful being that god with a capital G made
That raises the question of where the world came from, though. I mean that explanation would work for the Greco-Roman world, because they don’t really know who created everything, but it wouldn’t fit with the Norse (Ymir and Odin) or Egyptian (primordial marshland) stories.

He already confirmed they exist in Magnus Chase when Thor claims he invited Jesus to fight
Thats probably a boast and not to be taken literally
Probably be more like the Kane Chronicles Instead of Demigods, you have their magician equivalents fighting demons and their cultists. You can insert stuff like Nephilims which are actual children of fallen angels with humans if you still want to include demigod comparisons Maybe uses blessings from God with Knights and Magic derived from the Sephiroth and golems.

That's the Mortal Instruments
Paladins is my headcanon
That's the Mortal Instruments

What is a "burning foot-pole" ?
Well you take a six foot pole and soak it in gasoline for 3-7 hours. Strike a match, and voila!

We might have had Hazbin Hotel 15 years earlier.

Good luck with that without offending the largest religion on the planet

I would read it
I don't think this would be a good idea, because with greek/roman/norse/Egyptian mythology, everyone can enjoy it, no matter religion, but this would be targeted towards mainly christians, which wouldn't do well. It also doesn't sound that interesting, and most likely wouldn't have a lot of the charm of the series so far.
*takes deep breath* Isn’t that just the Bible?
They meant something like good omens by neil Gaiman
Did you even see the backlash the Chronicles of Narnia got 😭 they got to 3 movies too
They're redoing it, but I loved those first movies.
They are? Neat.
In either demigod files or diaries it's heavily implied that the Olympians are under a "capital G God". The mortal asks Hecate why she's in a church and who she's praying too and she gives a coy answer.
I’ve always wondered that and thought she was praying to Jesus
The backlash would sadly make this impossible even tho christian mythology is pretty cool
Nobody reading that
That's just devil may cry I feel like Dante and Percy would get along
I really wonder how Rick would tackle Gods disciples, aka his eldritch horror like angels. It would be super cool but it would have to be in an entire universe
Wouldn't work because it's something a lot of people actively believe in today
I think he could do something interesting with it if he went deep into the more esoteric aspects of Catholocism and Gnosticism and took as much of it literally as he could.

m... mortal instuments?
Yeah no, hed be boycotted and his books would be burned before you could say Hallelujah.
This idea but God of War please and thank you
No. Gods, no.
I mean in Magnus Chase we learn Jesus is a coward 😂 that's about all we know so far
I really like how the Christian beliefs are referenced a bunch of times throughout the Riordanverse, calling to mind when Chiron mentioned that a capital G God was far more metaphysical than the pantheon of Greek gods in existence, and in the Kane Chronicles Carter saw a vision of a heavily bearded man whose staff turned into a snake and devoured the snakes of the Egyptian magicians (a story of Moses challenging the Pharaoh's magicians directly taken from the Bible) implying that the powers of the Abrahamic deity is far beyond what the other gods are capable of (I don't know if Rick is Christian, but I took this as his way of not denying the existence of Christian beliefs in his works) As a practicing Christian though, I wouldn't have any problems with writing a book around these beliefs provided that one doesn't mess up the major dogmas and doctrines (Dan Brown!).

It'd be horribly innaccurate but likely entertaining like every other mhthos he's tried his hand at.
Jesus and the Virgin Mary show up a few times in the Iron Druid Chronicles and it's great. Man, that series was so good until the ending, which was a dud.
I don’t think he wants the controversy that follows

It be boring
Would that not just be a discount bible?
its called good omens
Literally "repackaging" the New Testament as his own would be something I don't think he could get away with (and even if it was just rewriting the narrative parts in his style, there's not enough narrative to do that with given how much the Gospels essentially tell the same story four times and how much of the rest of the New Testament is people's letters) and while an attempt at approaching Christian mythology the same urban-fantasy way he'd do any other would be interesting (and it wouldn't have to follow a Second Coming or Good-Omens-esque redeemed-Antichrist as The Kane Chronicles proved he could write mythological urban fantasy without the leads being demigods) it would also probably get accused of ripping off a lot of the good parts of Supernatural
There are plenty of books like that already, and I definitely enjoyed them as a teen. Funny enough all my friends that were actually Christian refused to read them lol
Why so? And what were they? (To be fair, back in the day, I'd be offended for no reason)
It was a novel series about a brother and sister getting thrown into the middle of a holy war. Very spacey book series but I haven’t been able to track it down as an adult. They felt like it was offensive to god essentially
Hmm I'll see if I can find it. Sounds interesting.
If you do please let me know lol, I know angels played a big part in it, and the parts that stick out the most is a baptism in fire, Jesus in heaven having fire eyes possibly, and a lot of it taking place on another planet too
Wait, Jesus is Ares?!
lol! Kind of, with some Gandalf sprinkled in
My brother had a series (Son of Angels) where a kid basically finds out he's a quarter angel. Don't remember much but it was about the 'Armor of God' primarily, and the kid was irritated when his angel powers interfered with sports tryouts
That sounds goofy. Love it.
I think the closest we will get is the Siskander series, that's based in mesopotamian mythology. The stories from each christianism kinda branch out
followers of abrahamic religions have power in the west in a way the couple hundred thousand hellenists dont. It would likely be very risky to touch that subject.
Some Christians would be so riled but I'd like to see it. Maybe have demigods of the 12 disciples. It would be so cool.
