I read somewhere that Willa Cather did this. So I've read the Bible now, I think seven times in a loop because I read literally one chapter a day sequentially. It's not out of order. So it's very in line with my OCD. And pretty much every major Western writer has had to be steeped in the Bible by training. In the same way you have to know mythology if you really want to write literature in the West. The idea that I could work in the context of a biblical understanding gives me a kind of compassion for the minor characters in life and also all the reluctant prophets,. All the winds of history. It's all in there.
