That is...
if we are only talking about God. And we shouldn't limit ourselves to just one book. After all, God wrote two books, the book of Creation and the book of the Scriptures. And from these two books we get to know who He is. It is not just about the "lovely prose" Bud-Oracle, it is also about the majesty of God that is known not only through its adumbrations in the shadowy contours of the universe, but also in the strivings of the human heart. AFter all, it is the human heart that creates the lovely prose.

"When you limit the pusuit of god to just one book, you miss the point of the gift of an inquiring mind!" Although I love the Bible and have read it 3 times in daily readings. The demand by modern riligions to never deviate from standard belief, actually blocks the truth of seeing god in the lovely prose.

Sadly
this "Do-it-yourself" mentality is a trait of our times.

Friar__Tuck, you are so right in your comment about "Jesus-reduced" and "Jesus-distorted".
