>It's very unlikely anyone will ever have a "true" Bible as it was in the early years of Christianity.
The biblical books are the most well-documented and thoroughly(and accurately) reproduced ancient texts in existence. There are currently over 40,000 original manuscripts from the early years of Christianity(predating Latin) many of which are still used in the Jewish church. You could retranslate and rewrite every book of the bible using entirely original documents.
granted it didn't exist as a singular "Bible" as we have today, but a religious canon of separate texts.
>t. I went to a Bible museum last year and it was actually really comprehensive and fascinating
Sooo
I actually tried to read this just front to back. I don't think I got through Genesis, it's so fucking boring. I eventually read the Skeptic's Annotated Bible, which is basically just the Bible with commentary by a very snarky atheist.
I'm trying to read it front to back. Right now I'm mid way through Judges, about 300 pgs in of 1400. Lots of parts are redundant. For instance, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy cover pretty much the same stuff. I'm sure it would be fine to skip some books but I'm enjoying it and I'd like to know that I read the complete Bible.

just read wherever
you're bound to find an interesting passage except for the bits in the early old testament where the jews write down a bunch of non ten commandment rules that don't matter, and of course their genealogies
>thinking Genesis is one of the boring
Stay pleb
