…collection. Fun fact: AA was originally going to call themselves the St James club due to this book's very practical presentation of spiritual ideas. Other epistles: no impression. The four gospels and Acts of the Apostles. I can't add to the centuries of back and forth. But they are worth a thorough reading if you are curious. I don't regret the effort I put in. Macaques. Fascinating to a student of history as it contains…
这纯属扯淡。《使徒行传》第二章讲了使徒们如何说方言（speak in tongues），而且《使徒行传》2:9-10 列出了当时在耶路撒冷过五旬节的各个民族：帕提亚人、米底亚人、以拦人，以及住在美索不达米亚、犹太、卡帕多细亚、本都……
That's frankly rubbish. Chapter 2 of the Acts of the Apostles tells how the Apostles speak in tongues and Acts 2,9-10 lists the nations that were in Jerusalem for Shavuot: Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus…
…tyranny and misery because man cannot be perfected. If your worldview cannot survive the fact that a lot of people are assholes, it will always fail when you try to put it in practice. If you look at the Acts of the Apostles, how they are describing the early Christian community sounds an awful lot like what communists are trying to achieve. And it worked, for a time, but this was a small group of zealous believers banding…
…largely irrelevant historical and spiritual marginalia, which were collected into a specific text known as 'The Bible' for fairly arbitrary reasons. If the OP had said to read 'Genesis, Psalms and the Acts of the Apostles' it would have made some kind of sense to me. But dsr3's use of the fact that the Stanford course includes Genesis and the NT as support of the recommendation to read 'The Bible' is just sophistry. Saying…
……奥勒留的《沉思录》、尼可罗·马基雅维利的《君主论》、詹姆斯·麦迪逊的《权利法案》、出自《圣经》的《约翰福音》、出自《圣经》的《路加福音》、出自《圣经》的《使徒行传》、出自《圣经》的《所罗门之歌》（雅歌）、斯诺里·斯图鲁松抄录的《挪威王列传》（Heimskringla）。正是这些书共同造就了如今这个崇尚自由思考、思想偏保守的斯多葛主义的我……

……文集。冷知识：戒酒互助会（AA）最初差点因为这本书对属灵思想极其务实的阐述，而打算把自己命名为“圣雅各俱乐部”。其他书信：没什么印象。四福音书和《使徒行传》，千百年来的争论我没什么好补充的了，但如果你好奇的话，它们绝对值得通读一遍。我很庆幸自己花时间读了。猕猴篇。对历史学者来说引人入胜，因为它包含了……

The Gospel According to St. Luke and the Acts of the Apostles (also by St. Luke).

……暴政和苦难，因为人性是无法被彻底完善的。如果你的世界观连“很多人其实是混蛋”这个事实都容纳不下，那一旦付诸实践就注定会崩盘。要是你看看《使徒行传》，他们对早期基督徒社群的描写，听起来极像共产主义者想要实现的目标。而且它确实奏效过一段时间，但那是一小群狂热的信徒团结在一起……

……大部分都是无关紧要的历史和宗教边缘杂记，因为相当随意的原因被汇编进了一部叫作《圣经》的特定文本里。如果楼主说的是去读“《创世记》、《诗篇》和《使徒行传》”，我还能理解一点。但 dsr3 拿斯坦福课程包含《创世记》和《新约》作为推荐去读整本《圣经》的论据，纯粹是诡辩。说什么……
