Sometimes you just have to read the Bible with some theatrical attitude. These people weren’t some flatlined, no personality, duds. These writers had some spunk and attitude! “Oh snap, Paul said whaaaht!? He ain’t no fool! Go ahead and try to call him one!” Hahaha (2nd Corinthians ch 11-13)

But in all seriousness, when you can put a pulse on the emotional attitude of their writings they take on a whole life of meaning you can’t get when you read the Bible like a text book.
