I'm reading Tolkien's The Silmarillion, and the very obvious christian themes make me wonder: what is a good annotated version of the new testament? Preferably one that assumes the reader has no previous christian knowledge, while simultaneously not dumbing things down.
I liked Aryeh Kaplan's The Living Torah when I read the torah. Before I read the new testament, I will finish the tanakh, so I still have some time to decide on a version of the new testament to purchase.

>annotated

stop being a pleb, the entire bible both old and new testatment is shorter than Hobbit+LOTR+TT+ROTL+Silmarillion by a significant margin. Shit you could probably throw the Quran in and still not hit Tolkien's wordcount.

If you haven't read the bible you are simply put a pleb because the bible, the Iliad and the odyssey are the fundamental /canoncore/.

Annotated means longer. I think you confused that word with "abridged".
Anyways, I OP failed to use the catalog before making this thread. I have however found in
>>8523567
that I should probably get the New Oxford Annotated Bible.
Thank you.

>god promises all humans go to hell because of adam and eve
>god cant renege on promise (because it'll make him look weak)
>creates a human sacrifice named jesus
>when jesus is killed humans can go to heaven.. but only the good ones, the rest still go to hell

And there's your cliffsnotes New Testament. No annotation required.

Thomas Ryrie Study Bible was my first full read of the Bible, and it was pretty good.
