I love literature and philosophy, I've found a couple great podcasts for appreciating Ecclesiastes and Book of Job from that standpoint:<p>(Ecclesiastes) https://www.verybadwizards.com/160<p>(Job)
https://www.verybadwizards.com/171<p>I'm trying to find similar but for the remaining books. Most of the stuff I find when I google is very heavy handed religion, which isn't what I'm looking for.
Here are a few excellent books worth considering:<p><i>The Poetics of Biblical Narrative: Ideological Literature and the Drama of Reading</i>, Meir Sternberg<p><i>The Dynamics of Biblical Parallelism</i>, Berlin and Freedman<p><i>Poet and Peasant and Through Peasant Eyes: A Literary-Cultural Approach to the Parables in Luke</i>, Kenneth E. Bailey<p>Robert Alter's translations of the Hebrew Bible have lots of interesting notes.
