Ecclesiastes

>>11118048
2 late

>>11118048
Job is correct though

>>11118035
It has always been my favorite.

>>11118035
I liked Acts

>>11118035

Proverbs if you like neat quotations

Isaiah if you like ranting

Lamentations if you like whinging

Corinthians if you like Paul being bossy

Matthew if you want a straight man Gospel

John if you want a trippy way out Gospel

Samuel if you want to find out what a nasty piece of work King David really was

unironically Tobit

>>11118048
>If you say Psalms you'll look like a normie

Jonah is possibly the most enjoyable read, but it's extremely short. I prefer Tobit or Maccabees.

>>11118035
Revelation and Daniel are the best books; for reasons I should not have to explain to anyone vaguely familiar with the occult and teleology

you can just read:

genesis, isaiah, daniel, gospel of st john, gospel of st matthew, eccliastes, psalms, revelation and skip everything else

The writings of the prophet Isaiah, with a healthy dose of The Revelation of John. These should be the initiatory books of the Christian experience. I also mean to say that Isaiah is the best.

Epistle of James. Everything you need to know to be a good christian is in those few pages.

I thought Nehemiah was really touching, but then I found out there isn't a shred of historical accuracy to it.

You’re right in saying that you’re judged differently for your favorite book of the Bible.

Sidenote, Ecclesiastes is unironically one of the realest philisophy books out there and you don’t have to be a Christian to appreciate its meaning.

Job is also interesting to read if you want a better understanding of God’s relation to man and the concept of suffering.

>>11118363
But it's pretty accurate by bible standards. Even if some of the details didn't happen, the Jews returning from exile and rebuilding Jerusalem did.

John <3

>>11118440
>Better understanding
>God says you cannot kno nuffin about why you're suffering

>>11118035
Judges

>>11118035
The secret is they’re all the best

>>11119218
This. Job is just basically him asking "why do good people suffer" and God answering "because reasons".

>>11118035
2 Corinthians master race.

>>11119644
Why is the sequel better?

>>11119647
Because 2 Corinthians 1-5 lays out the essence of Christian fellowship, and exactly how we should think about Christ: as a unifying spirit that recreates the believer in his image.

Job is the best

Jeremiah is the patricians read.

Judges. I like the “short story cycle” structure to it. Also it’s hilariously violent.

>>11118354

And to think I used to be Lutheran.

It's not a box of chocolates.

The pleb answer is Job.

>>11119629
>and God answering "because reasons".

No he's more like, "hey I just make shit happen I'm God. Have you made a universe before? Didn't think so hahaha"

Job is best bible book. It's a bronze aged report of a classic ufo poltergeist infestation given a religious interpretation. The details it goes into reveal the ages old pattern of haunting, including cattle multilation, radiation poisoning, the slow psychological grinding down of the target of the elemental, until a climatic showdown where the djinn is at full strength, and then it all disapears as mysteriously as it started.

Or perhaps better is that bit where the old guy gets hit on by his slutty grandaughters, reitterating why you should avoid that particular tribe and their harlot women at all costs.

Same, Judges is really entertaining. I also love Judith.

>tfw no granddaughter milkers

>>11121025
You mean Lot and his daughters?
