There's good along with the bad. A lot has to do with what translation you're looking at, and from what context. It's definitely ideally more like food for thought than explicit infallible instructions, though.

It is particularly galling that basically the me main reoccurring themes, are also the most studiously ignored lesson, which in my opinion are "mind your own business, be as kind as you can, and you are not qualified to judge people." Republicans essentially behave in the complete opposite manor.

A guy called Wangerin “rewrote” the Bible as an historical epic novel. It’s quite a good read in that genre by all accounts - loads of action, loads of characters. (Obviously I’d file the book under fiction but other book seller policies may vary.)
