In the fall, I opened a github repository for my in-progress Norms, Natures and God book manuscript, but all I had was a table of contents. I’ve finally started to regularly contribute text to the book. You can monitor my progress here, and you’re welcome to submit suggestions and bug reports via the Issues page.
Don’t count on the repository being available permanently: it will disappear when it’s time to submit to a publisher. (My preferred way to write books is to write them and then submit the whole draft to a publisher.)
What is your estimation on the page-length? Given how systematic this is, I would assume at least 500+ pages?

I will pray for successful work on this book.
Congrats on over 250 commits! At what percentage do you think you are at in writing the book?
