@kay Ooh, such a good question! I have done a lot of thinking on this because I have a WIP about Onesimus which also has Paul and Peter and other real people in it, and I have plans for a story surrounding the life of Jesus. I agree with what Rochellaine said, and I think it is trickier than even writing about other historical characters, especially when you are talking about the Son of God. I think you need to do a ton of research to begin with, and when you think you are done, research even more. 😛 Like seriously understand the world and people you are gonna write about as much as you can. Too many people write stupid his-fic! As for having Jesus or a apostle or somebody like that saying something, I either like to directly quote them or what I usually do is make sure that what I have them saying lines up with what the Bible records and doesn’t disagree. Does that help or make sense?
