Well, I AM reading the book, but it's heavy sledding. I've read the NT several times over, but have been stuck in the OT for months.

If my question offends you, feel free to not answer. ;)

No your questions do not offend me at all; I am just often amazed at the number of people in organized Christianity that have never read the Good Book from cover to cover. I agree some of those names and all those begats in the Torah are not easy reading.

If I might make a suggestion...get yourself a copy of Max MacLean reading the Bible. I also had trouble sometimes making it through portions of the OT, but when you hear someone reading it with vocal inflections and the kind of voice Max has, it makes it much easier.
