New Testament

New Testament. Incredible how many levels/cross-reference it has.

1. New Testament (I was not raised in a religious household) 2. The Imitation of Christ 3. The Lord of the Rings 4. The Iliad

I would actually recommend starting with the New Testament, especially the gospels. Genesis is fascinating, but you need a lot of background to really understand its implications and intentions. The gospels are much more approachable (and relevant).
