Because of its presence in a large portion of literary canon with constant commentary and allusion. You will fail to understand much of what is considered literature if you do not familiarize yourself with the bible. Also as far as literary theory it is through the bible we gain hermeneutics a tool in the analysis of what we call literature.

KJV for literary purposes, the others for scholarly.

Shame you aren't enjoying it. I'm always for putting down books you aren't enjoying, but on the other hand, if there was one book I'd say someone ought to force themselves through it's The Bible (KJV).

People don't like the King James version because they find the language intimidating and they're afraid it will deter people, although for its time the King James really didn't use complex language, it was written to be simple and straightforward, though very lordly.

If you're Jewish, why not Robert Alter's translation of the Tanakh? It's the only OT English translation that I know of which is as literary as the King James, even if it's not nearly as influential.

An annotated King James is great for scholarly. Even Robert Alter, who is Jewish, said it is the best English translation of the Bible (I don't know if he was counting his own), despite its imperfections, because the Bible is very literary in Hebrew and any translation that doesn't account for that is horrible.

Yeah, he does. That's because the Biblical Hebrew is top drawer prose and verse (although as you probably know, Biblical Hebrew verse is through parallelism rather than meter). But having compared quite a few translations, not only do I find that the King James isn't as full of errors as people make out, but taking into account Early Modern English definitions, it's actually more accurate than many translations popular today, especially the NRSV which is all the rage in every denomination.

Oh I agree, which is why I only ever recommend KJV and Alter's too, but that's still approaching it from a literary perspective. Other translations (I like NET) are better for the religious student perspective, IMO (though there's something to be said about how religious text ought to be beautiful).

Since Jews, Christians, and Muslims each have very different perspectives on the Bible, and even within those religious there are denominations which are at extreme odds, if you're going for a religious (as opposed to secular) commentary, it's advisable for you to get the commentary for the religion you have in mind...in fact, if possible, get several, because theologians within that denomination will probably have different outlooks.

You're also forgetting about the fact that "books are made out of books." Most of literature alludes to the bible.

There is great literature in the Bible, like the stories in Genesis, Ruth and Samuel, and more contemplative things like Ecclesiastes.

But most of it is there for a purpose. The purpose of the Old Testament is to say over and over that a particular piece of land belongs to a particular group of people, because God wants it to be that way. And to provide a comeback to people who said "well, then why were those people taken into exile" by saying "God wanted it that way because they weren't holy enough, but that was back then and it's different now".

And the purpose of the New Testament is to give a little feel-good philosophy but mostly to say "you're going to get tortured forever in the afterlife unless you believe this book and convince other people to believe it".

Then how did it first reach the printed word? Did a book just fall out of the sky? Did priests under the—ahem—influence of God just become inspired and write what He told them?

It matters if you want to call it bantz. Bantz implies that you don't mean what you say and that you only said it in mere jest. Otherwise it is just shitposting.

I'm sure most atheists acknowledge that we currently lack much insight into the origins of the universe and that we could always learn more

Christians claim to have all the answers because a book written by several dessert dwellers over the course of a 3 thousand years tells them so and that they wont need any other answers because all other faiths and beliefs are falsified by the devil.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jul 4 20:23:32 2015 No.6779876 >>6778869 This isn't really what atheists actually believe at all. Is the only form of defense for christfags is to be scientifically illiterate?

>Christians claim to have all the answers because a book written by several dessert dwellers...
If you want to know what Christians claim, look at the Catholics, Orthodox and even the Anglicans, not Pat and Bob's fringe sect that started last monday
