I understand the value of the Bible as art, as the foundation of our society, and how relevant its allegories and metaphors are to all generations from then to now but I'm not a true believer.

>Meyer & Rudolph
yeh, I'm happy with both of these. Meyer adds a lot of scholarly context to the apocrypha. Rudolph is kind of dry but it's unavoidable when half of the job is comparing manuscripts. dude was just being comprehensive.

kekkle. The Paris Review had a nice interview with Graves back in the 60s or whenever. It's incomplete without a subscription but draws quite a nice portrait of the man later in life. In it he suggests man should abstain from women and reserve his passion for the immortal beauty. No doubt he would be on /c/ today, only able to attracted to 2d women.

Bought it for $1 at a book sale. Those reminder icons kind of make it KJV For Dummies. Supposedly Kirban was a great researcher, but I've found most of his footnotes to be distracting and a very literal, doctrinal interpretation that I do not prefer. The bible I actually use for study is NIV pic related.
