I came across this article today in Publishers Weekly about a man who read the Bible cover-to-cover for the first time. The result: Good Book: The Bizarre, Hilarious, Disturbing, Marvelous, and Inspiring Things I Learned When I Read Every Single Word of the Bible.
Two things stuck out: his grasp of the richness and humor of the Bible (my favorite line from the interview: "To appreciate the richness, vitality and comedy that is in the Bible is to make it feel alive, joyful and exuberant.") and his advocacy that the Bible should be read in schools to understand how the Bible has affected our culture.
