Apparently actual scholars of the New Testament and historians of Christianity consider his thesis old and discredited, and his book little more than pop history entertainment

You would be far better off with Geza Vermes, Bart Ehrman (his earlier less clickbaity stuff), Burton Mack, Elaine Pagels, or Luke Timothy Johnson if you want some faith in your historical-critical analysis.

As a layman having read the stuff above and more, this book is walking an old old road, and I have heard a bit of this >>8532777 as well.

The only reason this sold well was because some bitch on fox news called him a a pig fucking muslim.

>>8532795
Well she was right to be fair.

For feels:
Rainer Maria Rilke

Easy fun:
Heinz Erhardt

Harder, but valuable:
Goethe

High school tier:
Schiller's Die Glocke and Goethe's Prometheus

Depri tier:
Trakl, Celan (Todesfuge)

>>8532757
Thanks.

I might start with Rilke because of the feels.

Reclam Universal-Bibliothek has a collection of his poems for around 7 Euros. Is that publisher shit? It looks like German Wordsworth Classics, but I may be wrong.

>>8532775
Reclam is great.

Also you might wanna check out Heinrich Heine, he can be really funny and I think he's fairly easy to read.

Buy the paperback, cut off the paper back and put a hardcover on it.

I always thoguht it was cool how one of the best filmmakers of the 20th century is the son of one of the best painters of the 19th century

I would not assign any worth to McCarthy's works after Blood Meridian.

They are pulp, lacking depth. Easily ignorable.

>>8532748
>They are pulp, lacking depth.
Having a man named Ely saying "There is no God and we are his prophet" is the deepest thing Cormac McCarthy has ever written in his life.

The implementation of his fiscal policies tanked the economies of the US and UK in 1980s. The modified version of said policies subsequently tanked the US and UK economies in the 1990s and 2000s, and will likely tank them again this decade.

Far be it from me to question the desirability of mass unemployment and one severe recession per decade.

Liberal arts, namely sculpture. Because it's awesome.

>>8532539
Don't you have to do the MA in what you majored in?

>>8532539

Can you do it for free, or at least without debt? I'm sorry to be that guy but how will you support yourself with a masters of arts? I'm doing a postgraduate diploma in accounting and it's brutal for someone used to humanities stuff, but at least I know that the average CPA makes 60k a year, so there's light at the end of the tunnel if I somehow manage to survive the next few years. Even if I don't get my letters I'll still be useful as a bean counter somewhere.

>>8532552

But sculpture is fine arts. Unless your talking about art history with a focus on sculpture that is. Fine arts majors exist to make arts majors feel better about their job prospects.

Considering the average quality of rap analyses I seriously doubt it

I looked up some Shakespeare and they incorporate Samuel Johnson's annotations, which is interesting.

>>8532877
That sounds more lazy than interesting
