The Bible - as an original source of all types of stories and narratives you’ll find in 99% of all fiction books and movies. New Testament — as an original source of most of moral principles and ideas modern european civilization is based upon (also fundamental stories and narratives).
新约我不清楚，但旧约的话我推荐 Robert Alter 的《The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary》。https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BN5HWWX
I don't know about the New Testament, but I'd recommend Robert Alter's The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary for the Old Testament. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BN5HWWX
The same one I read every day. The One Year Bible. It's about a 30 minute a day read. Excerpts from Old Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, and New Testament. It reminds me wisdom doesn't just live in my head. It also reminds me much has gone before me and much will go on after me. https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Year-Bible-NIV-ebook/dp/B007EF7...
The Bible, specifically the New Testament, and more specifically，The Gospels. The reason that it's radical is that Christ overturns traditional notions of morality. Greco-Roman thought saw the rich and powerful as close to the divine but Christ's…
Are there clear examples of that in the Bible (New Testament) or is it just how people interpret it? Edit. I’m not challenging or arguing any point. I was genuinely curious.
…translation - it's very very easy to start mentally reciting the translation you're familiar with instead of actually parsing the original text. This is one reason that Attic Greek is preferred to Koine (New Testament), even though Koine is generally simpler. Even a secular person usually has enough familiarity with the Bible to make this an issue. I certainly wouldn't say that this method can't be used profitably,…
《圣经》——你在 99% 的虚构文学和电影里看到的所有类型的故事和叙事，其源头都在这里。新约——现代欧洲文明所基于的大多数道德原则和理念的源头（同时也是各种核心故事和叙事的源头）。

还是我每天读的那本，《一年读完圣经》。每天大概花 30 分钟。节选自旧约、诗篇、箴言和新约。它提醒我智慧并不仅仅存在于我自己的脑袋里。它也提醒我，在我之前已有无数人事走过，在我之后亦将有无数人事延续。https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Year-Bible-NIV-ebook/dp/B007EF7...

《圣经》，特别是新约，再具体点说是《福音书》。它之所以具有颠覆性，是因为基督推翻了传统的道德观念。希腊-罗马思想认为富有和权势者更接近神，但基督却……

圣经（新约）里有这种明确的例子吗，还是说这只是人们的解读？补充说明：我不是在抬杠或争论什么。我只是单纯好奇。

……翻译——你非常非常容易在脑子里背诵起你熟悉的那种译本，而不是真正去拆解分析原文。这就是为什么人们更倾向于用雅典希腊语而不是通用希腊语（新约圣经语言），尽管通用希腊语通常更简单。即使是一个世俗的人，通常也对圣经足够熟悉，从而导致这个问题的出现。我当然不是说这种方法不能带来收获，……
