Like, if someone made, New Testament: The Graphic Novel you'd probably get some more interested young people. (Well, and me, I guess, since I love graphic novels.) Free million dollar idea there, folks.

This is probably a smarter move, thanks! My L3/L4 is acting up today, so I'm in bed. This is ideal haha. I'm mostly rereading because I want to see how I relate to and understand them now, after I did a whole phd on belief systems ;/

Most modern editions of most texts are straight translations of the source, but, yeah, DENSE. And only really interpretable through the lens of some tradition.

Well, there just aren't that many people in the world paying to have multi-volume texts translated from a mixture of mid-late-Roman-era Aramaic and Hebrew, with some half-remembered paleo-Hebrew thrown in, into English. They'd rather just learn Aramaic like we've always done.
