What do you think is the best book in the Bible from a literary

Ecclesiastes

Not in standardized bibles, but the Gospel of Thomas by and far for me.

Probably not the best but Jonah is wonderful, it has the conciseness of the best bible stories while being nicely self-contained, it's like a great piece of short fiction

If you liked Job, then read Chesterton's essay on it, is called "The Book of Job".

If you liked Jonah, then read Melville's book on it, is called "Moby-Dick".

literary? i guess personal preference is getting in my way here, but i like isaiah and psalms

one of my favorite excerpts is from isaiah 40

4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:

5 And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
