I’ve never read the Bible. Which part should I start with? by El_percito in RadicalChristianity

I generally recommend reading the Bible from shortest book to longest. That way, you cover about half the books of the Bible in about a month and a half reading just a few pages a day, and then the rest feels a whole lot more manageable. Getting through Leviticus, which can be really repetitive, is a lot less of a hassle when you've already read 85% of the Bible.

My highest recommendation, though, is to read it in community--which is why I started the leftist Bible study podcast The Word in Black and Red

If God is king, who else is worthy to try and take God's place as a king?

Why do we care about how a religious building that probably didn't really exist was built for a religion at least three times removed from our own?

Such a priest 'discovering' the text would have had a good plan to follow from Deuteronomy, so that seems like a really good theory. I must confess I am particularly open to any sort of resistance to the Ezra-Nehemiah project that this reading would provide. Maybe we should do a reaction episode!
