Reading through it for the first time after only reading the Gospels before, I'm currently on 1 Samuel.
Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy were very boring but since then it's getting better and there are some good stories. I've yet to feel any faith whatsoever, it's very difficult to like or respect the God in the books of Moses.
A lot of israeli fanfiction. I also enjoy how early christians did not have one so eventually they all got together and decided which stories were canon and which were not despite it being the 'word of god' lmao.
Multiple plot holes such as the fact the giants were somehow still around after the flood. Renaissance painters would cope by depicting them hanging on the ark
I don't know Hebrew so I can't judge the poetry properly.
But from what little I know, the way Hebrew works is very interesting. What with it being a consonant only language, and the relations you can have between different words written the same but with different vowels.
Song of Solomon is pure kino

I didn't really come to respect G-d until I read the Pentateuch. The rest of the Bible is coming up soon on my reading list.

Lmao, when it re-tells Biblical stories it says them differently each time.
The old testament justifies any antisemitism in the world.

I read The Unseem Realm expecting him to have an explanation for this but he just ignores it completely.
Unless you read Hebrew and Greek, it depends purely on the translation.

There's also the Kabbalah angle, which lends a whole extra dimension to the Old Testament.
Not literature
It's literally the most read and influential book of all time.
TWO BIBLE THREADS WOOOOOOO
