I'm reading the bible to be able to understand it's literary, cultural, historical value etc., I'm set on reading the Pentateuch and New Testament in full, besides that what else should I read? Any specific books from the old testament are particularly important? Apocrypha?

If you're not reading it in Koine you're not really reading it.

Genesis, Exodus, Job, Ecclesiastes, 1 & 2 Kings, 1 & 2 Samuel, Joshua, Judges, Isaiah, Lamentations, Psalms, Proverbs, Song of Songs, Jonah, off the top of my head.

Also, I think the Book of Tobit might be important too. Kierkegaard references it a few times, at least.

LOL.

The Bible is the foundation not only of Western literature, but of Western life. If you live in the West, and you haven't read the Bible, you literally—LITERALLY—have no fucking clue what's going on. Not have you fun-da-ment-a-lly misunderstood every book you've ever read, you've fundamentally misunderstood every EXPERIENCE you've ever had in Western life. You go to the supermarket and you're in a Western country and you haven't read the Bible, you have no idea what's going on. Clueless. You can't interpret shit. You have no basis for it. You can't even go into Foot Locker and get what's going on, let alone a church, let alone pick up a book written by a Western author and understand a fucking word of it.

Read The Bible, and then reread everything you've ever read.

Lol, is this a copypasta? What's wrong with trying to get a better understanding of Western literature?

Please don't feed the retards.

He's not wrong.

You can't understand what's going on in a supermarket if you haven't read the Bible?
