@Lukesblog1 It suffered a little from “cliffhanger-itis” but I also still enjoyed the ride.

@TheVallyD Not sure what version you read. I recommend checking out the Harper Collins Study Bible, NRSV. Gives a fascinating deep dive and perspectives that challenge your brain in a new way.

I just finished doing a “close read” of the New Testament; had started on March 31. Whether one is a believer or not, it’s probably good to read it just to see for yourself what’s said, not said, and the context; especially as it has been used as a cultural & political touchstone…
I’m glad I did it; there were some books I enjoyed more than others, though the way they all referenced each other was very interesting. At times there were direct contradictions between books & authors. Paul is a very interesting person, and his books have enough personal idiosyncrasies in the way they are written to convince me that he was *absolutely* a very real person authoring/dictating this material.
That said, I probably enjoyed the more purely spiritual/esoteric stuff like Gospel of John & the book of James the best. I understand that there’s schools of thought regarding the Bible & the NT that every single book, sentence, and word in the official version is sacrosanct. But at the end of the day, James says “faith without works is dead,” & Paul is like “faith is #1, works are meh” (I’m obviously paraphrasing)…so who is right? I personally tend to lean more towards the “God is love” stuff, be good to your neighbor, help the poor, remove the honking big tree trunk from your eye first, etc.
*That* all said…again, I’m not unaware of the various religious viewpoints regarding the New Testament. There are many differences of opinion between the different Christian denominations themselves. And some people want zero to do with the Bible at all. My own opinions on this work would not satisfy everyone, believers & non-believers included. I’m hardly an expert.
At any rate: I’m glad I followed through to the end with it (though, especially given the current news cycle, Revelation was a bit of a stressful read 😬).

@pipelinecomics I was scrolling his blog just a few weeks back, reminiscing.
Incredible talent. I’m so thankful his family has not taken it down.
