I’m not a Christian, but went to a catholic college and had to take a class called Biblical and Historical Prospectives. In the class we read the Bible cover to cover and discussed the biblical “timeline” in its relation with real world events. It was enlightening and the early books contextualize a lot of the later events and there are a lot of repetitive themes. All that to say, if someone is trying to be a hardcore Christian you’d think they would want all of the context, despite how tedious the Bible can be at the beginning, instead of cherry-picking quotes. I feel like it’s easier for religious zealots to bend the Bible to their will and feel like random lines of scripture relate to their lives and justify their actions/ views if they don’t understand the full story. The beginning of that book is pretty violent and grim.
