Ask HN: Best resources for appreciating the Bible for non religious folk?
I love literature and philosophy, I've found a couple great podcasts for appreciating Ecclesiastes and Book of Job from that standpoint:
(Ecclesiastes) https://www.verybadwizards.com/160
(Job) https://www.verybadwizards.com/171
I'm trying to find similar but for the remaining books. Most of the stuff I find when I google is very heavy handed religion, which isn't what I'm looking for.
