The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha: Fifth Edition (New Revised Standard Version) by Michael D. Coogan, Marc Zvi Brettler, Pheme Perkins, Carol A. Newsom
1. why did i do this to myself
2. the essays were pretty good and one of them actually finally made me understand wtf structuralism, poststructuralism, and postmodernism are lol
3. if you're an atheist thinking about reading the bible maybe just read Ecclesiastes and call it a day man. turns out most of christianity and judaism involve interpretations that you won't figure out from reading the bible straight
4. 2 Kings 2:23-24
