There are no sequels to the Bible, only fanfics.

No. Joseph Smith was a fraud.

Do recommend reading The Bible? I'm not religious at all.

Read the prequel, its better

>>9296776
Some parts of it are cool. Esther is relatively short and not particularly religious, maybe start with that.

NRSV is a good modern translation.

Old Testament = Raiders of the Lost Ark
New Testament = Temple of Doom
Qur'an = Last Crusade
Book of Mormon = Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
>>
I'm planning on reading Pentateuch, Books of Wisdom, and the whole New Testament. Is this enough for a good rundown of the Bible? Anything I should add or drop?
>>
>>9297125
But the Temple of Doom was the weakest part of the original trilogy and Last Crusade the best, so your post confuses me.
>>
>>9297146
Make sure you read Kings and Samuel. I'm unsure if those are included in the Books of Wisdom. You can honestly skip Leviticus.

I second the guy saying to skip Leviticus, it'll bore the pants off you. I also recommend the books of Samuel and Kings, they include a lot of important stories and you'll understand jewish ideas about the Temple and kingship better, which are necessary to properly understand the gospels.

I think just Job and Ecclesiates are good enough for the wisdom books, maybe Proverbs too. I don't think you need to read through psalms if you just want a rundown, it's a collection of prayers and songs (150 of them!) rather than core theology. Maybe look at some "favorite psalms" lists and just read those. Songs of Songs/Solomon is saucy but not particularly important to Christian belief.

As for the New Testament, the gospels, Revelation, and the 7 genuine Pauline epistles are probably good enough, but do read the rest of the epistles if you're interested.

The ones that are definitely genuine Paul are:
>Romans
>1 Corinthians
>2 Corinthians
>Galatians
>Philippians
>1 Thessalonians
>Philemon
