I don't believe this is the first time someone has published a version of the bible without distracting verse or chapter numbers and without "helpful" headings that further break up the text. I am not a believer, but I wanted to try to read the bible, and I can attest from my reading of Genesis that what was previously a chore is now a pleasure. I'll post a book-by-book review if possible, but no overall view until I finish.
Genesis ***1/2 With its two versions of creation and two versions of the number of animals on Noah's ark, much of Genesis reads like a first draft. When it tells the story of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph, it reads much more smoothly, and in any case the interest of the narrative takes over. And what a narrative it is--Cain's killing of Abel sets the tone for a series of murders, rapes, and truly pornographic goings on. Not only is polygamy in place, but having more than one wife still isn't enough. Jacob has two wives, but he also has multiple children with their servant girl! It is very difficult to see how someone could turn a story that could have come from Harold Robbins into a religion (Judaism) that has lasted for at least three millennia. Nevertheless, the story is both interesting and entertaining, and I'm eager to go on to the succeeding books of the Pentateuch.
