Proverbs definitely it has a large amount of very usual advice such as diversifying your assets in risky venture, dont take on other debt and so on.

I do believe that it might be one the reasons that jews are wealthy.

how ever I do like Joshua,Ruth,Ester and Judges as stories and use to regularly read them for entertainments sake. After that Ecclesiastes and job are excellent especially after reading Plato's Protagoras or laws, I always end up spending the remainder of the day philosophizing and it makes me quite happy.,

St. John's Gospel, because the best book has to be one of the Gospels, and John's is the best

>> No.13525695

I’d second this.
If it had to be a pauline letter, probably Galatians for me.

For OT, it’s a toss up. Ruth, Daniel or Job.

>> No.13525709

>>13525695
Oh, reasons why:
John is the best gospel because it has the most interesting style and theological depth compared to any of the synoptic gospels.

I chose Galatians because Romans would be the obvious answer and I like to be a hipster. Besides, all of Galatians is pretty much about the topic of justification, which I as a lutheran prioritize in my conception of theology.

Job is a beautifully written poetic book with an always timely theme, Daniel because muh prophecies, and Ruth is just the most captivating of the historical books of the period of Judges to me.
