P.D. Blackwell writes science fiction that explores distant worlds and human choice, and nonfiction that returns readers to the biblical worldview of the earliest Christians. Four books. One relentless curiosity.
In this book, P. D. Blackwell looks at the narrow road Jesus spoke about in Matthew 7:14. He explores how later theology clouded the message of original Christianity and points readers back to the ancient biblical worldview known by the first followers of the faith.
Clear, thoughtful, and rooted in Scripture, this guide invites readers to look again at the road that leads to life.
The Erstallius Chronicles, Volume One. A clan blamed for a war it didn’t start.
The Erstallius Chronicles, Volume Two. Two minds connected across dimensions.
God’s Victory Despite Christendom’s Failure. What tradition added to Scripture.
From the political chaos of the Erstallius Chronicles to a close reading of the narrow road in Scripture, each book asks readers to look past the easy answer and dig for the true one.
Bev Colli is trapped in a strange new existence, searching for a way out while the worlds around her move closer to collapse. Arlud Erstallius faces a path he never wanted. Across dimensions, Bev and Arlud remain mentally connected — a bond that becomes both a source of hope and a warning that something larger is moving beneath the chaos.
Many people read Scripture through ideas they inherited before they ever opened the Bible for themselves. Lawless Tradition invites readers to step back and look again — examining how culture, translation, and centuries of religious tradition have shaped the way people understand God, Scripture, and the message of the New Testament.

P.D. Blackwell is a writer of science fiction and biblical studies. He became a science fiction fan at an early age and began writing his own stories in his mid-twenties. His fiction explores distant worlds and human choices; his nonfiction looks closely at Scripture, early Christianity, and the narrow road Jesus described as the way to life.
Whether you’re drawn to the politics and peril of the Erstallius Chronicles or ready to take a closer look at Scripture, there’s a Blackwell book for the search you’re on.
"I enjoyed how the book introduces different worlds, cultures, and clan histories without slowing everything down. It has the kind of depth science fiction readers look for, with enough action to keep the pages turning."
"What stood out to me most was the mix of mystery and survival. Clan Erstallius is blamed for a terrible attack, and the search for the truth slowly reveals something much bigger than one destroyed colony."
"This is not a simple space adventure. There are old alliances, political pressure, hidden motives, and a growing sense that the real enemy is still in the shadows. It feels like the first chapter of a much larger story."
"The Rhysu Alternative takes the story beyond war and politics. Bev's struggle gives the book a personal edge, while Arlud's choices carry the weight of entire worlds. It feels bigger, darker, and more urgent than the first book."
"What I enjoyed most was the way the book keeps Bev and Arlud tied together even when they are separated by impossible distance. Their bond adds emotion to the larger conflict and makes the danger feel personal."
"The civil collapse, the clan conflicts, and the mystery behind the Rhysu all build steadily. This volume does not feel like filler. It moves the series forward and raises the stakes in a serious way."
"There are big ideas here: other dimensions, political breakdown, mental connection, and survival. But the story still stays close to the characters and the choices they have to make."
"Lawless Tradition does not settle for easy answers. It asks readers to look carefully at Scripture, tradition, and the way theology has been handed down over time. It is thoughtful, direct, and worth reading slowly."
"What stood out to me was the focus on reading the Bible in its original setting instead of simply accepting later explanations. The book pushes readers to compare tradition with the text itself."
"P.D. Blackwell writes with conviction. The book deals with complex subjects, but the purpose is clear: to return attention to the biblical worldview behind the New Testament message."
"Lawless Tradition is best for readers who are ready to examine difficult questions. It challenges comfortable assumptions and gives a serious look at the difference between biblical teaching and later religious tradition."
