biblical commentary? the bible will definitely help understandings of literature but usually the works themselves are self-contained enough to the point that the bible isnt necessarily prerequisite. you'll just be able to understand the imagery a little better.
reading genesis alone will help your understandings of paradise lost and faust (goethe), so i would probably at least start there.

No no. Sorry for expressing myself wrong. I was wondering which novels have Biblical references, which without reading the bible couldn't be understood. It's like "you must read the Odyssey before you read Ulysses." In a thread below I saw how they said that Demons by Dostoievsky had a lot of biblical references, and that's why I made this thread.

I just finished the Brothers Karamazov and really regret not brushing up on my biblical knowledge for it. There seemed to be a reference literally every other page at times
Cooper Jones
The better part of the western canon
Joseph Myers
haven't read that book but, do you think you had to have read the entire bible or only the more well-known parts of it to get references from other books that reference it.

What's the best Bible commentary/scholarly book? Looking to read it for literary, historical, and cultural value. Not for religious purposes

No one's says noting about religious purposes, dugh
