Which religions have the dankest literary traditions?

Christianity

The bible is cool, but buddhism is the right answer

Eh. Most of it is melodramatic and preachy. Hardly any of it except for Jeebus's speeches are at all poetic. Lots of boring history and dates and times.

>>8169566
Dante, Milton, Dostoevsky, etc...

>>8169566
Song of Solomon is literally biblical poetry.

I wouldn't really count the bible as part of the christian literary tradition, because christian tradition didn't really become tradition until the bible was around (and the new testament heirographia was decided upon)

I'd count as christian literary tradition thos books that were written by christian writers or writers who were influenced by a christian world view, which is to say, most of the writers in the western world.

If you want to be more specific, things like the Canterbury Tales and the Divine Comedy are definitely part of the christian literary tradition.

nope I didn't. Once a religion hits a critical mass people start writing about it bc it's the culture they were raised in. If enough people write about one think you have a literary tradition.
