>Whats the best edition of the Bible? Hopefully that covers both historical and theological aspects. More additional information the better.

KJV, red letter. Criticize it on your own. Now read >>19000103 it alongside with Hegel's "Phenomenology of Spirit" (he is called Protestant Aquinas for a very good reason) to comprehend it on a far larger scale than American Christianity possibly can - it opens an entire new realm of existence. Engage in "ruthless criticism of all that exists", for "ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free". You may even read the general corpus of Western philosophy and literature (biographies of earthly great men to comprehend the Father, literature with good and meek fictional protagonists to comprehend the Son, philosophy in general to comprehend the Spirit) alongside it. A parsimonious solution of Hume's is-ought problem in sin (positively is, normatively should not be), how Plato and Aristotle may have influenced conceptions of the afterlife, why Nietzsche seethed so heavily about Christianity being a slave religion, an identification of historicism with Spirit, a way to comprehend the victory of the Taliban with imperialism viewed as the greatest of all sins. I probably can't think my way out of Christianity now. Hamartiology, pneumatology, theology.

The fastest way to Christianity probably is via Omega. The Bible is the train Central Station, the hub of Western philosophy.

Hello /lit/,

I started reading pic related, and am having trouble understanding the text. I'm going at a slow pace, and I'm almost finished with the Preface. Is the rest of this book this dense and nuanced? I'm watching Dr. Sadler's Half-hour Hegel series, alongside the text, but I'm still struggling.

Any tips for understanding this work, would be much appreciated.
