lol, most have not even read the NT

It's a bit dry, to be honest. Not much of a plot... but a spectacular ending.

The WHOLE of the NT? Most of them have barely glanced at a bible first hand!

That is my experience, I have actually read the NT and good sections of that dirge the OT (well some chapters are quite good)

There are also quite a few who dont even know that it is a translation

I reckon we should translate it again for a new generation actually.

"Then God had a look at what he'd done, and he saw that it wasn't that bad tbh"

I read most of the NT as a teenager because I was a pretentious little c. Was.

...

Some of it is actually a decent high fantasy story but it could definitely do with the prose being updated, it doesn't flow very well, even the more recent translations. Needs to be a bit snappier for the Netflix generation.
