Is the bible worth reading?

It's really useful for my English degree

Why?

It's an interesting side-note and can prove to be useful in revealing another aspect that you might not have got otherwise.

edit: the bible is on next term's reading list, so I'm one book up Just some revision methinks.

Perhaps, but whether these other aspects are useful for other people like myself are a different matter.

Ugh. I bet non-Christians will kick up a fuss, unless you're studying religion or something.

You've not read the lot have you?? Its ridiculously hard going reading it.

At the time, were you aware of the symbolism, or took it at face value?

Dragons and all that.

How cool is the idea of that all happening when you're 8?

Are you still religious?

Well they are useful because why would the author put them there if not for a purpose?

The medieval paper requries it as every literate person would have read the bible, so we know it as a literary source and a HUGE influence . People aren't stupid enough to let their not wanting to do something interfere with their studies, surely?

Better things happen in Lord of the Rings tbh.

Do you read any text relating to King Arthur and Merlin?

They could choose other religious texts though possibly.

Btw the Bible is perhaps one of the most accurate historical pieces, if nothing else, so the Bible is far fropm fiction even without religious influences. Read it you won't regret it!

People on tv always seem to blurt out saying and are respected for it, it comes up in quizes, it may take you to a higher plateu(give the spelling a chance). I was thinking of reading but would like opinions on it.

I am not a christian but I read it because I felt that is was important that I understand where people that I often clash with interms of oppinion ect are coming from.
